Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar.
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. Next, mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt, until no flour streaks remain.
1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt
Fold in ½ cup of the chocolate chips. Press the dough into a 8-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet, and top with remaining chocolate chips.
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
The cookie will continue to bake after it’s removed from the oven, so don’t over bake it. The center will still be slightly soft and gooey.
Top with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Serve warm.
Notes
A 6-inch pan may also be used. However, the cook time will need to be increased by a 4-6 minutes.
Ovens and pans vary, so you'll need to watch for doneness cues. The cookie is ready to take out of the oven when the edges are set and golden brown and the center is still soft, slightly glossy, and looks a little underdone. It will finish cooking in the pan out of the oven, especially in cast iron. If you wait until it's baked through, it's overbaked.
Cast iron is piping hot and remains hot for a long time after being removed from the oven. Remove the cookie from the pan after 10 minutes or so if it doesn't get eaten, so it doesn't get hard.
Make sure you use baking soda and not baking powder. Baking powder gives you a cakey, dry cookie. We're looking for gooey and chewy.
For a fun variation, swap some of the chocolate chips for M&Ms or Reese's Pieces.
Store leftovers without ice cream or toppings. Once cooled, cover tightly or transfer slices to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Warm slices for 10 to 15 seconds before serving. Freeze tightly wrapped slices for up to 2 months.
