Ingredients
For the Cookie
- ¼ cup unsalted butter half a stick, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 ounces dark chocolate roughly chopped, or ½ cup chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling optional
To Make a Sundae
- Vanilla ice cream optional
- Salted caramel sauce and/or hot fudge sauce optional
- Whipped cream optional
- Chocolate shavings and/or sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then continue whisking until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the flour and baking soda, and use a rubber spatula to mix until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to a 5- or 6-inch cast iron skillet, cake pan, or baking dish.
- Sprinkle the top with a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and set.
- The center will remain soft and doughy. For a firmer cookie, bake for an additional 5–10 minutes.
- Let the cookie cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before serving.
- For a sundae, top with a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream, then drizzle with salted caramel and/or hot fudge sauce.
- Add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and/or sprinkles as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Avoid scooping the flour into your measuring cup, which can pack it too densely resulting in a dry dough. Spoon it into the measuring cup, then level off the top for best results.
- For extra gooeyness, press a few extra chocolate chips or chocolate chunks into the top of the skillet before baking.
- Using a smaller skillet is a great way to get a thicker, doughier center.
- Be careful not to over bake if you want that gooey center.
