Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
Description
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake recipe involves combining typical cookie ingredients like flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with melted butter, light brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract. The addition of semisweet chocolate chips distributed throughout adds pockets of melted chocolate. Baking at a relatively low temperature ensures the edges become lightly golden and firmer while the interior stays soft and chewy.
The cake is baked in a round pan lined with parchment to facilitate easy removal. Pressing the dough evenly into the pan ensures uniform baking. Once cooled, it can be sliced like a cake, making it suitable for gatherings or celebrations where individual servings are desired instead of separate cookies.
Serving is flexible; the cake can be enjoyed plain or decorated as desired. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying. The cake balances sweetness and texture with familiar cookie taste and the convenience of serving a single cake-shaped dessert.
Note that nutritional values pertain to individual servings, which helps in portion control. The recipe focuses on fundamental baking methods and ingredients, making it accessible to home bakers.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons butter melted and cooled to room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with a round of parchment paper; set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugars together until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out into the prepared cake pan and use your fingers to press into an even layer. Bake until the cookie cake is light golden brown and the outer edges have started to harden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and plan the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Use a metal spatula to loosen the sides of the cake from pan, then turn it out and place it on a serving plate or platter. Serve or decorate as desired. Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the cookie cake moist.
- The cake can be decorated as desired after cooling, making it suitable for celebrations.
- Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal from the pan.
- Adjust baking time if using different pan sizes to prevent overbaking.
