Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 egg yolk

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet with butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and yolk one at a time, mixing after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the greased skillet.
  8. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is just set but still soft.
  9. Cool slightly before slicing or serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use a 10-inch skillet for thicker, softer edges; a 12-inch for a more even bake.
  • Customize with M&Ms, peanut butter chips, toffee bits, or white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for extra flavor.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Bake frozen dough straight from freezer, adding a few extra minutes.
