Instructions:
Prepare the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Make the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a handful to sprinkle on top.
Bake:
Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for extra gooeyness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Cool and Decorate (Optional):
Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For a festive touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or add sprinkles.
Serve:
Slice into wedges like a cake and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
