1½ cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 (9-ounce) bag espresso chocolate chips
1 (4.4-ounce) bar white chocolate, broken into large pieces
1 (4-ounce) bar dark chocolate (60% cacao), chopped
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with baking spray with flour.
