Make a large, thick chocolate chip cookie cake with a soft, gooey center and crisp edges, topped with classic vanilla buttercream frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup vanilla buttercream frosting ingredients (listed separately below)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix 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.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. The dough will be thick.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or 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 frosting while the cake cools.
  11. Spread the cooled vanilla buttercream evenly over the top of the cooled cookie cake. Decorate as desired.

Notes

  • For an extra chewy texture, slightly underbake the cake by 2-3 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking it.
  • If you want a thicker cake, use a 10-inch springform pan instead of a 12-inch pizza pan. Adjust baking time slightly longer.
  • To make the vanilla buttercream: Beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy.
