Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line a 23 cm (9-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden on top but still slightly soft in the center. Do not overbake.
Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before removing.
Notes
For a gooey center, bake slightly less and cool fully before slicing.
Customize with peanut butter chips, white chocolate, or chopped nuts.
Can be made 1 day in advance — just cover and store at room temperature.
