  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, now!
  2. In a mini, oven-safe skillet (about 5 inches), melt the butter over medium heat. No fire alarms, please!
  3. Once melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in both sugars and vanilla extract. Act like it’s a sugar party!
  4. Add the egg yolk and mix until well combined. Think silky smooth, not scrambled egg.
  5. Add flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to form the dough. It’s a workout, but worth it.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips. Scatter them like you’re making a treasure map.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are golden, but the center is still slightly soft. Crispy edge lovers unite!
  8. Let it cool for about 5 minutes if you can resist. Then, dig in right from the skillet with a spoon. Sharing optional!

Suggestions

  • Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even a broken candy bar. Go wild!
  • Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Decadence level: expert.
  • If your kitchen lacks a mini skillet, use an oven-safe ramekin or a small baking dish. Adapt, improvise, overcome!
