  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tablespoons (¾ cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1-tablespoon portions, divided
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon morton kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top
  • 3 ounces white chocolate baking bar, chopped, plus a bit more for sprinkling over the top
  • ½ teaspoon maldon sea salt flakes
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
  • ¼ teaspoon morton kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle and preheat it to 375°F.
  2. In a 12" cast iron skillet, melt 9 tablespoons of unsalted butter over slightly less than medium heat until browned, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Once browned, transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, adding the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to melt and combine.
  4. Whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth. Then incorporate the egg and egg yolk until well mixed; let rest for 3 minutes, whisking intermittently for a total of 3 cycles.
  5. In another bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Gradually stir this mixture into the butter mixture until just blended; fold in chocolate chips and white chocolate chunks.
  6. Lightly wipe the skillet with a paper towel and press the cookie dough into an even layer, adding extra chocolate chips and white chocolate on top.
  7. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown, ensuring to rotate the skillet halfway through. Let cool on a rack before serving.

Notes

Be careful while browning the butter; it can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
For the best results, allow the cookie to cool for at least 30 minutes if served warm, and completely if frosting with Chocolate Buttercream.
