Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 large egg; whisk until combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  3. Step 3: Fold in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
  4. Step 4: Transfer dough to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream if desired.
