Instructions

Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Pour into a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter and mix until combined.
Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough into 7 large portions and arrange them in a greased 9-inch pie dish, skillet, or square baking pan.
Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Top the dough with extra chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center remains soft.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve warm by the spoonful.

Notes

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

Swap semisweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.

White chocolate chips or caramel bits can be added for a sweeter variation.

Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 15 to 25 seconds before serving.

Chilling the dough helps create a thicker texture and deeper flavor.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert.
