Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Extra Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or a 10-inch round cake pan with butter or baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan, melt your unsalted butter completely. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- To the melted butter, add both the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk them together vigorously until well combined and smooth.
- Whisk in the large egg, the extra egg yolk, and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Keep whisking for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture looks light, creamy, and slightly thickened.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed with an electric mixer or using a sturdy spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in your chocolate chips. Reserve a small handful to sprinkle on top before baking for a classic bakery look.
- Transfer the cookie dough into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and set, but the center looks slightly soft and puffed.
- Let the cookie cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30-60 minutes before slicing. For best results, let it cool completely.
