Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In an 8- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the butter to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the skillet until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Smooth the surface of the cookie dough in the skillet and, if desired, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Do not overbake; the cookie will continue to cook slightly as it cools.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the cookie to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, straight from the skillet, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
