• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 220g all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter foams, the milk solids turn golden brown, and it smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately.
4. Carefully pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl and cool for about 10 minutes.
5. Whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar.
6. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
8. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
9. Fold in most of the chopped chocolate.
10. Lightly wipe or grease the skillet if necessary, then press the dough evenly into it.
11. Scatter the remaining chocolate over the top.
12. Bake for 20–24 minutes, until the edges are golden and set while the center remains slightly soft.
13. Cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes.
14. Finish with flaky sea salt if desired and serve warm.
