The Wilke Report

We had Emma’s birthday party yesterday at Northshore Gymnastics. She asked for a chocolate chip cookie cake, so we took our favorite basic chocolate chip cookies, and made a cake with that recipe. I decided it was worth sharing, so here you go.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar
1 cup Butter Softened
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 12 oz. Bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and
vanilla. Mix well. In a separate bowl mix all dry ingredients. Add
dry ingredients to creamed butter and sugar, and mix. Add chocolate
chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake
for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before
moving from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix batter the same as above. Spoon into
deep pizza pan or jelly roll pan lined with parchment, about 1/2 inch
thick. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. It should be golden and
somewhat firm. The cookie bar recipe we looked at said that a toothpick
inserted in the center should come out clean.

The parchment slides around a lot as you spread. If you have a good way
to keep it still, let us know.

We had extra batter left over, so we cranked the oven to 375 after the
cake was done, and baked a tray of cookies.

Yummy!
