Cookie Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
  3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Stir in the vanilla extract and crack in the large eggs, mixing thoroughly until well combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a cookie dough forms without overworking it.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough for consistent chocolate every bite.
  7. Shape Dough in Pan: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface to ensure uniform baking.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookie cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps set the texture.
  10. Serve: Slice the cooled cookie cake and serve either warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your delicious treat!

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened for easier creaming with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to keep the cookie cake tender.
  • Use a toothpick test to avoid overbaking and drying out the cookie cake.
  • For variation, try mixing in different types of chocolate chips or nuts.
  • This cookie cake stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
