INGREDIENTS

• 1 3/4 cups (248g) all-purpose flour, scoop and level to measure
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 12 Tbsp (170g) unsalted butter, melted, divided
• 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mix-ins of your choice – see notes)
• Maldon sea salt flakes to sprinkle on top, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place butter into cast iron skillet and put into oven as it preheats. Once melted, leave about 1 tbsp of butter in pan and put the remaining melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Allow the melted butter to cool down a little bit before slightly adding additional ingredients.
• Once cooled, add the following to the bowl with the melted butter: brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.
• Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and stir until combined.
• Sift in flour and baking soda, then stir until combined.
• Mix in chocolate chips.
• Scoop dough out into prepared skillet and spread into an even layer.
• Sprinkle with Maldon flaked sea salt, if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven until cook appears slightly under-baked in center, it will continue to cook from the residual heat of the pan for a few minutes once removed from the oven, about 18 to 20 minutes.
• Spoon out and serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired or let cool at least 30 minutes to cut into slices.

NOTES

The above recipe is a template. Feel free to add in any number of mix-ins. One of our favorites is the addition of marshmallows (that have been halved and pressed into dough), white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces. I like to press in additional chocolate chips on top for decoration purposes. Not to mention topping with flaked sea salt!

Enjoy!
