Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place an 8-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (about 30-45 seconds). Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts). Spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter. Spread the batter evenly in the skillet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Let cool for 2 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Tips
For an extra indulgent version, add a handful of chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use an 8-inch round baking dish; adjust baking time as needed.
Leftover cookie can be reheated in the microwave for 15 seconds.
