Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake recipe


This is such an easy recipe to work with. No crazy ingredients and a very straightforward method. It’s got a thick dough, so it takes a little work to spread it out in the pan, but nothing difficult. My kids are crazy about it. I hope you like it.

Instructions

Cookie Cake
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
  • Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be thick.
