Make a bakery-style chocolate chip cookie cake at home that is softer and chewier than store-bought versions, perfect for birthdays and celebrations.

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 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (mix of chopped and whole)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla buttercream frosting (for topping)
  • Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 10-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix 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.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Press the dough evenly onto the prepared pan, forming a large circle.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool completely on the pan before frosting.
  10. Once cool, spread the vanilla buttercream frosting evenly over the top. Add sprinkles if desired.
  11. Slice and serve this delicious dessert for parties or family gatherings. This recipe provides a great alternative to using meal planning services for a special treat.

Notes

  • For an extra chewy texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before pressing it into the pan.
  • Use a mix of milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips for deeper flavor.
  • If you are looking for simple entertaining ideas, this cookie cake pairs well with a light, crisp white wine.
