Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Cake:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

For the Chocolate Frosting (Optional):

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 2: Bake the Cookie Cake

  1. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top if using.
  2. Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set.
  3. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Frosting (Optional)

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low speed.
  3. Slowly add heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  4. Pipe or spread the frosting around the edges of the cooled cookie cake.

Notes

  • For a gooier center, bake on the shorter end of the time range.
  • Add fun toppings like M&Ms, sprinkles, or caramel drizzle!
  • Store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
