This recipe is definitely a winner when it comes to cookie cakes. It’s classic. It’s chocolatey. It’s hard to mess up! Sometimes cookie cakes can be raw in the center and too hard on the outside, but not this one. It bakes evenly to give you the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie morsel in every bite.

You can add all sorts of fun toppings or you can keep it casual. It’s an easy treat for every ocassion!

Tips for the Best Cookie Cake
Use quality ingredients: Use high quality butter, vanilla and of course, flour. I LOVE Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached All Purpose Flour, which is what I used in this cookie recipe. It’s unbleached, unbromated, enriched baking flour milled from high quality North American wheat. It’s perfect to use in cookies, but of course also cakes, yeast breads, biscuits, muffins…literally everything. Bob’s Red Mill products are also certified Kosher, and made with ingredients grown from non-GMO seeds. So, beyond being flavorful, I feel good about the ingredients that I use to feed my family.Don’t Over-Bake Your Cookie Cake: If you bake your giant cookie for too long, it will dry out. Once the edges are set, you’ll have the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie cake with a soft and rich center. Once the top of the cake loses its glossiness, it’s ready to cool!Don’t Use Cold Butter: If your butter isn’t room temperature or softened, you’ll have a hard time creaming it with the sugars. Let Cool Completely: Make sure you let the cake cool completely before you remove it from the pan. If it’s still warm, it might break!
