Ingredients

Scale

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

  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly throughout.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
