Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 10-inch skillet with baking spray.

In a bowl on a scale, add 2 cups (240 grams) of all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the flour and whisk together.

In another bowl, cream together 10 tablespoons of unsalted room temperature butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (110 grams) of packed brown sugar to the butter and mix until combined.

Crack in 1 egg and drizzle in 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Press the cookie dough into an even layer in the prepared skillet.

Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.

Bake in the oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until the edges are browned and a skewer comes out clean from the center.

Optional: Sprinkle flaked sea salt on top after removing from the oven.

Serve warm, ideally topped with scoops of ice cream.
