Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chunks
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
  • Spread the dough into the prepared skillet, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges are golden and the center is just set. For a softer, gooier cookie, pull it out closer to 20 minutes.
  • Cool slightly for about 5 minutes in the skillet before serving.
  • Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if you like. Enjoy straight from the skillet or sliced into wedges.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • For gooey center lovers, pull the cookie out at 20 minutes and let it finish in the skillet.
  • Swap the dark chocolate with white or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt over the top before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
  • This dessert is best served fresh, but leftovers can be gently reheated in the oven.
