Make the best homemade cookie cake with this simple recipe. You achieve a perfectly chewy center and slightly crisp edges, ideal for birthdays or any celebration dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
  • 1 batch simple vanilla buttercream frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step helps create a chewy texture.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in both types of chocolate chips.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into your prepared pan, making sure the surface is smooth.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should look set and lightly golden, but the center should still look slightly soft. This ensures a chewy cookie cake.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting. Cooling is important so the frosting does not melt.
  10. Once cool, spread your vanilla buttercream frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with sprinkles or extra chocolate chips for a festive birthday cookie cake look.

Notes

  • For an extra thick, big cookie recipe, use a 9-inch round cake pan instead of a pizza pan; increase the baking time by 5 to 8 minutes.
  • If you want a crispier edge, bake for 2-3 minutes longer.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before pressing it into the pan for richer flavor development.
