Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
  2. In the skillet, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, stirring until fully combined.
  4. Sprinkle in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the top.
  6. Spread the dough evenly in the skillet and sprinkle remaining chips over the surface.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4 days.
  • Reheat slices briefly in the microwave for that fresh-from-the-oven feel.
  • Try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or different chocolate varieties for easy flavor changes.
  • For extra indulgence, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
