Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: chocolate buttercream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a 9-inch pie dish or cake pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Beat together the softened butter and packed brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Press the cookie dough mixture into the prepared pan evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 26 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cake cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting with chocolate buttercream if desired.

Notes

Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling with a knife to avoid a dense cake. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
