Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the butter by melting unsalted butter over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a large bowl, combine browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy, then add vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in most of the chocolate chunks, leaving some aside for topping. Ensure even distribution.
  5. Transfer dough to the skillet, pressing evenly. Top with reserved chocolate chunks.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and center is just set.
  7. Let the cookie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream and flaky sea salt.
