Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, smoked if you can find it
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup chocolate chips
vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat 10″ cast iron skillet with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Melt 10 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter until completely melted. Whisk in sugars and vanilla until well combined. Whisk in egg and egg yolk until well combined. Add flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour mixture into cast iron skillet. Bake until edges are golden brown but center is still moist, about 12-15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with ice cream, if desired.
