Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until creamy and slightly fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Lightly grease a small oven-safe skillet or ramekin with butter or non-stick spray.
- Transfer the batter to the skillet, spreading evenly but keeping it slightly lumpy.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is slightly soft and gooey.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use softened but not melted butter for best texture. Watch baking time closely starting at 12 minutes to achieve a gooey center with crispy edges. Tent with foil if browning too fast. For a crispier top, broil for 30 seconds at the end. Quality chocolate chips like Ghirardelli or Guittard recommended. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free or coconut oil for dairy-free versions.
