Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan and spread the cookie dough evenly in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream if desired.
Notes
Tip: For an extra special touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel before serving!
For a unique twist, try adding nuts or swapping out half of the chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips. If you’re looking to reduce the sweetness, consider using dark chocolate chips.
Make sure not to overbake the cookie; it should look slightly underdone in the center when you take it out, as it will continue to cook in the skillet. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or you can freeze portions for a later treat!
