Ingredients  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing pan
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, cold
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting, for decorating 
  • Assorted sprinkles, for decorating

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 14-inch round cake or pizza pan with unsalted butter. (See Kelly’s Notes.)
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one a time, beating between each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and beat just until combined, then beat in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the cookie dough into the greased pan in an even layer. 
  • Bake the cookie cake until it is pale golden and set in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. (For a softer cookie cake, underbake it.)
  • Remove the cookie cake from the oven and let it cool completely. Once it has cooled, decorate it with frosting and sprinkles then slice and serve.

Kelly's Notes:

  • To make a rectangular cookie sheet cake, you can also use this exact recipe but bake it in a half-sheet tray.
  • The cookie will continue baking as it cools, so if you prefer a softer cookie cake it’s important to underbake it so that the center is just set when you remove it from the oven.
