Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Ensure your 9-inch round cake pan is greased and ready for use.
• Remove the store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough from its packaging and allow it to reach room temperature. This will make it easier to work with.
• Using a spatula or your hands, press the cookie dough evenly into the greased cake pan. Make sure the dough covers the bottom of the pan entirely.
• Sprinkle the additional chocolate chips evenly over the top of the dough. Gently press them into the surface to ensure they adhere.
• Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, and the center should be set but still soft.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once the cake has cooled, decorate with your choice of frosting, sprinkles, or nuts. Get creative and make it your own!
• Slice the cookie cake into 8 equal pieces. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel for an extra special treat.
• Store any leftover cookie cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week.
