Ingredients

3/4 cup 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
2 large egg yolks at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour spooned and leveled
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1, 12- ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips approx 2 cups
Ice cream of choice for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Set aside a well-seasoned 12-inch cast iron skillet for later.
In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the egg, egg yolks and vanilla and beat until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
On low speed, mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until a cookie dough forms.
Don’t overmix otherwise the dough will become too dense.
Add the chocolate chips and mix together for 10-15 seconds just until combined.
Press the cookie dough into the 12-inch skillet.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the cookie looks set and mostly cooked through. If you prefer a more underbaked cookie, bake for 23 minutes only!
Allow the cookie to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

This cookie is also delish at room temperature but is best served warm, fresh out of the oven.
To make a small Valentine's Day recipe (in a 6-inch skillet), half the recipe!
You can easily prepare the dough, press it into the pan, and refrigerate until it is ready to bake.
Store raw in the fridge overnight and bake the next day.
