Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

This cookie cake has crunchy edges with a soft chewy center topped with chocolate chip cream cheese frosting and flavor to celebrate.

Why You Should Make This Recipe

• Proper Mixing Technique – Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer and cream together softened butter and sugars thoroughly to achieve a light and fluffy texture.

• Baking Time – Keep a close eye on the baking time to prevent overcooking. A slightly under-baked center ensures a gooey, moist interior, while the edges provide a satisfying crunch. All ovens are different so make sure you begin checking the cake at 20 minutes. If it needs more time after 23 minutes, check it in 3-minute increments.

• Ingredients – Use high-quality chocolate chips and vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile. When making baked goods it’s a good idea to let the eggs come to room temperature along with the butter.
