Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet on a baking sheet for easy handling.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in both types of chocolate chips by hand.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared cast iron skillet.
Bake for 28 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set and golden brown, but the center should still look slightly underdone and soft.
Remove from the oven and let the giant chocolate chip cookie cool in the skillet for at least 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For the best texture, use room temperature eggs.
Serve this cast iron dessert directly from the skillet for a true movie night experience.
If you do not have a 10-inch skillet, you can divide the dough and bake in two smaller skillets for about 20 minutes.
