Ingredients

1 cup salted or unsalted butter melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 11.5 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chunks divided, reserving 1/3 cup for top
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans See Cook's note
vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush bottom and sides of a 10 inch cast iron skillet with 1 Tbsp from melted butter.
In a medium-size mixing bowl use a non stick spatula or large spoon to mix together remaining butter with brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Add chocolate chunks and nuts. Mix until evenly distributed in the dough.
Spread dough evenly in skillet. Arrange reserved 1/3 cup chocolate chunks on top pressing into the dough. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cookie portion shows moist crumbs. The cookie should be slightly gooey. (Check at 30 minutes and lay foil on top to prevent over browning)
Cool for 15 minutes then serve with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, if desired.

Notes

If you'd like to toast the nuts before adding to the batter, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and into a preheated 350°F oven for 6-8 minutes. Cool before adding to the cookie dough.
