Ingredients

  • 14 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
  • ½ cups White Sugar
  • ¾ cups (make Sure The Sugar Is Soft And Not Hard)
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 whole Egg Yolk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Add 10 tablespoons of butter to a small saucepan. Heat over medium high heat and cook until butter is golden brown and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Add remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to a large bowl. Cut into cubes. Add melted butter to the cubed butter in the bowl and stir until melted. Stir in both sugars, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.

In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda and cornstarch. Fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts until incorporated. Do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips.

Spread into a cast iron skillet. No need to grease the pan. (Cast iron pans should already be seasoned.) Bake for 20–25 minutes; mine took exactly 20 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream if desired!
