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
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a cookie dough forms without overworking it.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough for consistent chocolate every bite.
- Shape Dough in Pan: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface to ensure uniform baking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
