Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup butter (plus 1 Tbsp for the skillet)
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
12 ounces chocolate chips (or 1 bag)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Place 1 Tbsp of butter into the bottom of a 12" cast iron skillet. Set the skillet in the oven to melt the butter while you make the batter. Remove the skillet using pot holders as soon as the butter is melted.
In a large bowl or your stand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter until it is light and fluffy. Add your eggs and vanilla and stir until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt and whisk together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring only until they are just combined. Don't overmix your batter.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small amount of chips if desired to place on top after the cookie bakes.
Carefully add the batter to the pre-heated cast iron skillet. Use the back of the spoon or a spatula to gently press the dough evenly around the skillet.
Bake for 24 to 28 minutes or until the edges are nice and golden brown. The middle of the cookie will still be quite gooey after baking. Lightly press the extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie while it is still warm, if desired.
Enjoy it as-is or allow to cool to room temperature so it can set up before cutting and serving.
Store the cooled cookie in an enclosed container or ziplock bag. You can also freeze the baked cookie if desired.
