  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Cuisine: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the 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, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix—your biceps will thank you.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips. Be generous; this is a happy cake!
  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and admire your handiwork.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick is wearing crumbs, it’s not ready yet!
  9. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Patience is a virtue… and usually rewarded with a bigger slice!

Suggestions

  • For a nutty twist, add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty combo that’ll make your taste buds dance.
  • Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, substitute half the chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips.
  • The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, but who are we kidding—it won’t last that long!
