Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar light or dark
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • flakey sea salt for topping (my favorite is Maldon)
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
  • In the microwave or on the stovetop, melt the butter and then let cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until it's smooth and incorporated.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Next, add in the flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Pour in the chocolate chips (reserve some for topping if you'd like) and using a spatula, mix until well distributed. The batter should be thick & sticky.
  • Coat an 8in cast iron skillet with oil or butter. If you don't have a cast iron you can always use an 8in cake pan!
  • Press dough into the skillet and bring it all the way to the edges. If the batter is too sticky, lightly wet your hands to help press it into the pan without sticking to you.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. If you want it more gooey, lean toward the shorter time. If you'd like it a little more done, let it cook for 30 minutes. To cut into slices, let cool completely before slicing. To enjoy hot, eat it right from the skillet with a spoon and a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream!
  • Top with flakey sea salt and enjoy!

Notes

For Storing: Store leftover in an airtight container on the counter or fridge (your preference) for 2-3 days!
