Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cups brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch cake pan.
  2. With a mixer, cream the butter and sugars together for 2 minutes and then mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Use a wooden spoon to mix in all but 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and then press the cookie dough into the lightly greased cake pan.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips on top and press them down slightly.
  5. Bake for 22-25 minutes. Let the cookie cool completely and then run a sharp knife along the edge to loosen and then use a large spatula to transfer to a platter.
  6. If you would like to frost the cookie, or even do cute piping, this is a fantastic chocolate frosting recipe.
