Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the skillet
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional
Ice cream, for serving, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the 1 cup (2 sticks) butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed after each addition, until combined. Then add the vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the dough comes together, then mix in the chocolate until combined.
- Scrape the dough into the prepared skillet with a rubber spatula, spreading it to the edges and smoothing the top. Sprinkle the sea salt over the top.
- Bake until the edges are brown and crisp and the cookie is barely cooked in the center, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Top with ice cream and serve.
