Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 10-inch cast iron skillet inside while the oven heats up to preheat the skillet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Reserve about ¼ cup of chips to press into the top after baking.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Press the cookie dough evenly into the skillet.
  8. Bake for 22–28 minutes, starting to check at 22 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and set, while the center will still look slightly soft and puffy. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Immediately press the reserved chocolate chips into the warm surface. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  10. Let the cookie cake cool in the skillet for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overbake the cookie cake; it’s better to pull it out when the center looks slightly underdone because the residual heat from the skillet will continue cooking it. Preheat the skillet for crispy edges. Let the cookie cake rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
