Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2-inch baking pan and line it with waxed paper for easy removal.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Step 3

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

4. Step 4

   Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the creamed mixture.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

6. Step 6

   Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.

8. Step 8

   For the frosting, melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

   In a separate bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar and 3/4 cup of softened butter until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
