Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
(adapted from The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookie book)

I have the most delightful 7 year old. He and I understand each other. When ever we are given a difficult choice like cake or cookie, we always choose the later. This is a delicious recipe, one of may favorite treats by far. We usually dump a whole bunch of homemade hot fudge on top of it with a side of ice cream, but it could easily be smothered in frosting and devoured for dinner.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

1 1/4 c. All purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, melted and cooled
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
6 T. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla
1-2 cups chocolate chips (I always use semi-sweet)

Sift flour, soda and salt...set aside.

Using electric mixer of medium speed beat butter and sugars for about 1 minute. Add egg and vanilla and mix for 1 minute. On low speed add flour, just mixing until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.

Use fingers to spread dough evenly over the bottom of prepared pan (10 inch spring form, buttered and lined with parchment). Bake at 350 until top turns golden, but center is still soft. Cool on rack.
