A recipe for a large, thick, and chewy chocolate chip cookie baked in a cake format, topped with simple vanilla buttercream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown 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 by hand.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  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 in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  11. Spread the buttercream evenly over the cooled cookie cake. Decorate as desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker, gooier cake, slightly reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
  • If you want a sheet pan cookie cake for a larger crowd, use a 10×15 inch pan and increase the baking time by about 5 minutes.
