The cookie base and frosting both freeze really well! I recommend freezing them separately and then assembling the cake the day that you plan to serve it.

By the way, you could absolutely make this cookie cake with the dough from these double chocolate chip cookies. Same bake time as below.

While this cookie cake delicious on its own, chocolate buttercream is always a good idea! And turns this giant cookie into a true cake. My favorite chocolate buttercream is far from basic; it’s incredibly creamy, silky, smooth, and rich. Even though it’s wonderfully creamy, it holds its shape beautifully. So it’s perfect for piping even the most intricate and fancy designs. I used a simple Wilton 1M tip for today’s cake.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake With Brown Sugar Frosting

So when it comes to birthdays, as much as I love making all kinds of cakes, sometimes it’s fun to switch it up and make a cookie cake. And that’s how this chocolate chip cookie cake recipe was born. This ridiculously delicious cake is basically a giant cookie baked in a pan. It is then sliced just like a cake, and every bite is soft and chewy and loaded with melty chocolate chips, plus the edges are crunchy so you get the best of both worlds.

The cake gets its wonderful flavor and texture from brown sugar, which adds moisture to the cake, and an extra egg yolk instead of a whole egg. In addition, I’ve added a bit of cornstarch, which is optional, but it does make the cookie cake ultra soft.

Of course you can enjoy this cookie cake on it’s own, but why not dress it up a bit? Here are some of my favorite toppings and garnishes:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake With M&m's

Don’t overmix your cookie dough. To ensure your cookie cake is perfectly soft, chewy, and not dense, be careful not to overmix your dough. Once you add the dry ingredients, mix the dough together gently just until everything incorporated. Overmixing will cause the flour to produce excess gluten, which will lead to a denser, tougher cake.

Don’t overbake your cake. This is key! If you want that chewy, moist, and soft cookie texture, remove teh cake from the oven when the top and the edges appear just golden brown. As the cookie cake cools, the inside will continue to bake.

This chocolate chip cookie cake is ultra chewy, gooey, and soft. It's loaded with tons of chocolate chips in every bite and makes a perfect birthday cake!
