A quick and easy chocolate chip cookie cake with a soft, chewy center and crisp edges, perfect for any celebration or casual treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (plus a pinch for sprinkling on top)
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and finish with a light pinch of sea salt.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center looks set but still soft. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use softened butter at room temperature but still firm for best creaming results. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cookie cake tender. Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking to enhance sweetness. Underbake by 1-2 minutes for extra gooey texture. You can substitute coconut oil for butter for a dairy-free version and flax eggs for vegan. Adding chopped nuts or swapping chocolate chips for other mix-ins can customize the flavor.
