Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 12-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before attempting to remove it.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the simple frosting: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting over the top. You can decorate it simply or add extra chocolate chips.

Notes

  • For an extra soft and chewy cookie cake, slightly underbake it by about 2 minutes. The residual heat will finish the cooking process.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use half semi-sweet and half milk chocolate chips.
  • This recipe makes a giant chocolate chip cookie that is perfect for sharing.
