Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cookie cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cookie cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding ½ cup of chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the frosting for a sweet and salty contrast.
- For a festive touch, decorate with colorful sprinkles or seasonal toppings.
