Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ðF (165ðC) and position the rack in the center.
  2. Butter an 11x7-inch baking pan or ovenproof glass dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, packed light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Mix on low speed for 15 seconds to combine dry ingredients.
  5. Add cubed unsalted butter and mix until the butter pieces are pea-sized.
  6. Beat in the egg until just incorporated.
  7. In a small bowl, mix baking soda into the sour cream to dissolve any lumps.
  8. Stir the sour cream mixture and milk into the batter until evenly moistened.
  9. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  10. Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  11. Bake for 40 to 47 minutes, until the edges are firm and the center feels slightly soft.
  12. Test for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  13. Cool on a wire rack; the center may sink slightly as it cools.
