Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 c. light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips, chopped into small chunks
- 2/3 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
- Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. On low speed, add eggs one at a time, and then vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and kosher salt in a small bowl, and with the mixer on low, add it to butter mixture until just incorporated. Using a wooden spoon, gently fold in chocolate chunks and walnuts.
- Sprinkle a large pinch of salt over the bottom of an un-greased 10-inch cast iron skillet. Spoon cookie batter on top and smooth surface with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with another big pinch of seat salt and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until baked through but still slightly soft in the center. (This will leave the very center of the cookie slightly under-cooked. If you prefer a crisper cookie, cook for an additional 5 minutes.)
- Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
