¾ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ¾ cups flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet, Smarties, M&M's, peanut butter chips or whatever your heart desires

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place your cast-iron skillet, over medium heat, and melt 9 tablespoons butter.

Stir remaining 3 tablespoons butter into hot butter until completely melted. Set aside.
Using a whisk, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt with melted butter until smooth. Whisk in egg and yolk until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let mixture sit for 3 minutes, then whisk for 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny.
In a small bowl combine flour and baking soda. Then add into butter mixture. Stir until blended, about 1 minute. Add in chocolate chips and stir until no flour pockets remain.
Wipe your skillet clean with paper towels. Transfer dough to your empty skillet and press into a flat, even layer with a spatula. Transfer your skillet to oven and bake until cookie is golden brown and edges are set, about 20 minutes. Rotate skillet halfway through baking. Using potholders, transfer skillet to wire rack and allow cookie cool for 30 minutes. Slice cookie into wedges and serve with ice cream if desired. Enjoy!.

Notes

Flatten the dough: Make sure you flatten the dough evenly into the skillet. Use a spatula to do this to ensure that the cookie is cooked to perfection.

Choose the best: Use the best quality chocolate chips for this recipe. Ghirardelli and Guittard are the best, and using them will truly make this sweet treat shine.

Experiment with toppings: Since this one’s essentially a dessert pizza, you can try lots of different toppings like chocolate sauce, crushed nuts, fresh berries, and even a nice slather of some Nutella.

Use a pizza cutter: Make sure you allow the pizza to cool down a bit before you cut it. Use a sharp pizza cutter to make things easier.

Try different pans: Don’t want to use a skillet? You can also choose to use a baking dish, a tart pan, or even just some mini cake pans if you want to make individual-sized cookie pizzas.

Don't over-bake: Keep a close eye to prevent the cookies from becoming too crisp. You can even undertake slightly for a soft, gooey center.
