Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Vanilla ice cream, for topping
  • Caramel sauce, optional for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine ½ cup melted unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat briskly until creamy and well combined.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Stop as soon as the flour disappears to avoid a tough cookie.
  6. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, pressing gently to the edges.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is soft and slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Top generously with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce. Optionally add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt.
  11. Serve immediately with spoons.

Notes

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results. Watch baking time closely to keep the center soft and gooey. Let cool briefly before adding ice cream to prevent melting. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, use dairy-free butter, egg substitute, and non-dairy ice cream.
