Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg beaten, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the rack in the middle position.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment (or in a medium-sized bowl using your hand mixer), add the butter and both sugars. Cream on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Next, add the egg and beat until incorporated. Then add the vanilla and beat an additional 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the flour. Mix until almost completely mixed in, then add in ½ cup chocolate chips and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Set the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips aside.
  • Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for one hour until firm, but scoopable.
  • Scoop 6 cookie balls and place evenly in an 8-inch cast iron skillet. Press gently. Scatter remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let sit for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

How to Store

  • Room Temp: Keep your skillet cookie covered tightly in the skillet or transfer slices to an airtight container. It will stay soft for up to 3 days on the counter.
  • Freezer: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw at room temp.
  • Tip: Warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or pop the whole skillet in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes. It will taste just like it came fresh out the oven!
