Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 250 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 100 grams Chocolate chunks (optional for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar-butter mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chocolate chunks (if using), ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared cake pan, pressing it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly soft. Avoid over-baking for the best gooey texture.
Remove the cookie cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely or serve warm for a gooier texture.
Slice into wedges and serve as-is, or top with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
