Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Ice cream (vanilla or your favorite flavor), for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, pressing gently to the edges.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is still soft.
- Let the cookie rest in the skillet for 5 minutes to set.
- Serve warm topped with 2-3 scoops of your favorite ice cream and optional drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
Notes
If the dough spreads too thin, chill it for 15 minutes before baking. The center should be slightly soft and gooey when done. Let the cookie rest before adding ice cream to prevent melting. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute butter and flour accordingly and use a non-stick skillet.
