Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
- Step 4: Grease a 9-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or cooking spray. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Step 5: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
