Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and coating a heart-shaped pan with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Using an electric mixer, blend softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition, then introduce vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared heart-shaped pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and firm center.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely within the pan to help set the cookie cake’s structure.
- Once cooled, carefully transfer to a wire rack for final cooling and serving.
Notes
- Swap butter for coconut oil to create a dairy-free version that’s equally delicious and tender.
- Experiment with different chocolate chips like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize flavor profiles and match personal preferences.
- Use gluten-free flour blend as a direct substitute to make this cookie cake suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Enhance texture by slightly underbaking to create a gooey center that melts in your mouth, giving the cookie cake a more indulgent experience.
