Equipment

  • 10-12" cast iron skillet or other heavy bottom oven safe skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or butter a 10 or 12″ cast iron skillet. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Add sugars, stir until smooth then add eggs, egg yolk and vanilla stirring until fully combined.
  • Add flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder mixing just until combined (don’t ovemix). Gently stir in chocolate chips.
  • Press cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet. Optional: press a few chocolate chips into the top just before baking.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden (center will be slightly underdone). Don’t overbake – it’ll continue to cook in the hot skillet when you take it out of the oven. Cool at 10-15 minutes before eating.
    NOTE: bake time will vary with ovens and size of the skillet.
  • Optional topping ideas:
    light sprinkle of flaky sea salt
    Scoops of vanilla ice cream
    Drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup
