Instructions
-
Prep Time: 15 minutes
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 12-inch round cake pan or pizza pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
-
Mix the Dough:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips (and any optional add-ins) using a spatula.
-
-
Bake the Cookie Cake:
-
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, ensuring it reaches the edges and is about ½ inch thick.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
-
-
Cool and Serve:
-
Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Decorate with frosting, sprinkles, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!

Notes
-
Storage: Store leftover cookie cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
-
Reheating: Warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.
-
Customization: Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips. Add nuts, dried fruit, or caramel bits for extra flavor.
-
Dietary Adjustments: For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For a vegan version, use plant-based butter, flax eggs, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
