This delicious chocolate chip cookie cake combines the best of both worlds—a soft, chewy cookie texture baked in a large cake pan, perfect for sharing. Made with classic ingredients like all-purpose flour, butter, brown and granulated sugars, and plenty of chocolate chips, this dessert is ideal for celebrations or a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent the cookie cake from sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Bake the cookie cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake the cake by removing it when the toothpick has a few moist crumbs.
  • Chilling the dough before baking is optional but can enhance texture.
  • You can substitute the chocolate chips with chunks or your favorite mix-ins like nuts or butterscotch chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat slices briefly in the microwave for warm, melty chocolate.
