Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Homemade chocolate chip cookie dough, baked in an 8-inch cake pan. Crispy cookie edges with a soft middle.

You can use all chocolate chips or a combination of chocolate chips and M&M’s like I did, to make the cookie cake fun and festive.  If you don’t have M&M’s, use sprinkles with the chocolate chips!

Print Recipe
Serves: 8 Slices Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Vanilla Extract)
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup M&M's

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line the bottom of a pie dish or 8-inch circle cake pan with parchment paper, spray the sides and bottom of the dish with baking spray and set aside.

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter and both sugars. Mix on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

3

Change the mixer to low speed and add the flour, salt, cornstarch, baking soda and baking powder. Mis until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and M&M's.

4

Pour dough into prepared dish and evenly distribute the dough into the pan (wet your fingers slightly to push the dough evenly into the pan). Bake the cookie in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are a light brown and the middle doesn't jiggle. Do not over bake though. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

So what does this cookie cake taste like??  A giant cookie of course!  Crisp edges with a soft, on-the-verge of under baked interior.  Heat leftover slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top if ya want to get fancy!

XOXO,

Kelly
