Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake – the most delicious giant chewy chocolate chip cookie! It tastes even better than the ones at the mall.
My sister-in-law turns 17 today and when it came time to make her cake, her mom suggested a cookie cake.
It came with my standard warning, “You know I’m not a cake decorator” but it ended up turning out so cute! And who knew that cookie cakes are so simple!
I used a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe for this, the one from the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip bags. I’m not sure if I’ve ever actually made the recipe (as cookies) but I was happy with how it turned out as a cake.
I had worried that the outside would brown a lot faster than the inside but it all seemed pretty even in the end. Just be careful because the cookie does expand – I would suggest using a pan with a higher rim than I did or you could probably refrigerate the dough in the pan for a little while to stop the spreading.
My favorite part of the cake was how easy it was to decorate! A few dots here, a few there, and it almost looked like the cookie cakes you buy at the mall!
I was actually shocked at how much I loved how it looked. And, of course, it was delicious!

What do u use for the frosting?

Be Careful!!! This recipe has a misprint. It is the recipe from the back of the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips, but the oven temperature is wrong. The variation for a large pan cookie calls for cooking at 350 degrees. I followed this web page recipe and my cookie was very crunchy…almost burnt after 16 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

Making this for my hubby’s birthday today! My 4 year old son helped me. Next time, I think I would chill the dough for a little bit to make it easier to turn out onto the pan. It was very sticky and hard to spread. Rolling with a rolling pin would be better (and get it more even). Cant wait to taste it! (the dough was relish ;-) )

was it difficult to get out of the pan? how did you go about doing it? I could just see myself baking it perfectly only to break it while trying to get it on the cooling rack.

This was awhile ago but I think I left it in the pan. And then sliced and removed each slice with a pie server.
Jennifer says
Why can’t I see the recipe for this? I would love to try this recipe
amanda says
Weird glitch, sorry! It should be working now. Let me know if you try it! :)

I made this a few times and it is the BEST, WAY WAY better than the store with the same dense/doughy texture. I baked it for 15 minutes. It’s now my go-to giant cookie recipe.
