Ingredients
115 g unsalted butter, softened
100 g brown sugar
50 g granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
150 g all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
150 g semi-sweet chocolate chunks (plus extra for topping)
flaky sea salt, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the egg, then the yolk, mixing until fully combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
4. Fold in most of the chocolate chunks, saving some to press on top later.
5. Lightly grease an 8- to 10-inch cast iron skillet. Press dough evenly into the skillet.
6. Top with remaining chocolate chunks and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden on the edges.
7. Let cool for 5–10 minutes, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using, and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overbake if you prefer a gooey center—take it out when it still looks slightly underdone in the middle.
Press extra chocolate chunks on top before baking for a bakery-style finish.
