Ingredients List

To make this delectable Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 12 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Timing

Total Time: Approximately 45 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 23-27 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan. This ensures your cookie cake will come out cleanly and maintain its shape.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture for about 60 seconds until it’s light and fluffy.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until everything is well combined, ensuring an even texture.

Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, instant espresso powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, beating gently until just combined.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Gently stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6: Shape and Bake

Press the dough into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Scatter extra chocolate chips on top for an added chocolatey touch. Bake for 23-27 minutes, until the middle appears slightly underdone—it will firm up as it cools.
