1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
2
Add 10 tablespoons of butter to a small saucepan. Heat over medium high heat and cook until butter is golden brown and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
3
Add remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to a large bowl. Cut into cubes. Add melted butter to the cubed butter in the bowl and stir until melted. Stir in both sugars, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
4
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda and cornstarch. Fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts until incorporated. Do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
5
Spread into a cast iron skillet. No need to grease the pan. (Cast iron pans should already be seasoned.) Bake for 20-25 minutes; mine took exactly 20 minutes.
6
Serve warm with ice cream if desired!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
