Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is set but still soft.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  9. For the frosting, beat ½ cup softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and spreadable.
  10. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cookie cake using an offset spatula or butter knife.
  11. Cut into 12 generous wedges and serve.

Notes

Do not frost the cookie cake while it is warm to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off. Cream butter and sugars well to trap air for a soft crumb. Avoid overmixing the flour to keep the cookie cake tender. Tent with foil if browning too fast after 20 minutes. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as suggested.
