Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Cake
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour the base of your cake!
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda for that perfect rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to enhance the flavors.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened for a rich, buttery taste.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness and texture.
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar brings a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for that warm, comforting aroma.
  • 2 large eggs bind everything together.
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips because what’s a cookie without chocolate?

Equipment

  • 12-inch Round Cake Pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch round cake pan and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This step is crucial for ensuring your cake has the right texture.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps to incorporate air and creates a nice rise.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your cake may turn out dense.
  6. Step 6: Fold in those delicious chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
  7. Step 7: Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared cake pan.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
  9. Step 9: Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your cookie cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to 3 months—just be sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn!
