Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Electric mixer
- 12" Oven Safe skillet
- Rubber Spatula or large spoon
- Measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ Tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a bowl, cream together the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well blended. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix again until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookie tough.
- Add the chocolate chips. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
- Prepare the skillet. Spread the cookie dough evenly in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet. The dough will be thin but will puff up as it bakes.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the cookie is golden brown but still gooey in the center.

Notes
- Make sure the skillet you use is oven-safe. It should not have a plastic handle or any type of metal coating that will melt in the oven. Cast iron skillets are my favorite choice.
- Pull the skillet cookie out when it’s just golden around the edges but still a little soft in the middle. It’ll continue to cook as it cools, which will ensure the center is soft and chewy.
- Once you add the dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Overmixing can make the cookie tough instead of chewy.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt over the top of the cookie dough before baking to make the flavor really pop.
