1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins)

Directions:
For the Cookie Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and the center is set.
Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Cookie Cake Frosting:
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
To Assemble:
Once the cookie cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting over the top of the cake.
Decorate with sprinkles or additional chocolate chips, if desired.
