Description
A delightful blend of cookie and cake, this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is soft and chewy with a gooey center, perfect for parties or a comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well blended.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to get into the corners.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Keep an eye on it, as you might need an extra minute depending on your oven.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and texture. Don’t skip the salt—it enhances the sweetness of the chocolate.
