Do you remember the cookie stands in the mall? As a kid, I was always in awe of the giant chocolate chip cookie cakes that they sold there.

This chocolate chip cookie cake recipe is the easy way to make one of those cakes at home! This recipe makes an easy, single layer cookie cake in about 30 minutes.

The cake makes a quick weeknight dessert, but it can also be dressed up with ice cream or sprinkles for a fun birthday cake.

How to make chocolate chip cookie chip

  • Butter: I use salted butter. You can use unsalted butter if you prefer.
  • Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar, but you can also use dark brown sugar in this cookie cake.
  • Chocolate chips: Feel free to use milk, bittersweet, or even white chocolate chips.
  • Springform pan: If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Simply run a knife around the edge and invert to remove the cookie cake from the pan.
  • To serve: Feel free to frost the cookie cake (I like to use this chocolate buttercream), add sprinkles, top with ice cream or whipped cream, or serve with any other toppings that you like.
