Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly throughout.
- Pour and smooth batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared 9×13-inch pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookie cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, consider folding in ½ to 1 cup of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking can improve the flavor and texture, making the cookie cake chewier.
- You can swap regular chocolate chips for semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips to adjust sweetness.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for proper creaming and better texture.
