Bake a bakery-style chocolate chip cookie cake that is perfectly soft and chewy. This recipe is simple to follow and ideal for birthdays and celebrations, complete with instructions for creamy vanilla buttercream frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (use a mix of chopped and whole)
  • 1 cup vanilla buttercream frosting ingredients (powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-inch round cake pan or a 10×15 inch rimmed half sheet pan for a larger cookie cake.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step builds texture.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir 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 the dough.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  7. Press the dough evenly into your prepared pan. If you want a thicker cookie cake, press the dough slightly up the sides of the round pan.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes for a round pan, or 25 to 30 minutes for a sheet pan, until the edges are golden brown but the center still looks slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
  10. Prepare the vanilla buttercream: Beat 1 cup softened butter until smooth. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  11. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie cake. Decorate with additional chocolate chips or sprinkles for your celebration.

Notes

  • For the chewiest result, slightly underbake the cookie cake; it will set as it cools.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
  • If you want a bakery style cookie cake, press about 1/3 of the chocolate chips onto the top of the dough before baking.
