Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly coat the sides with cooking spray.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Beat softened butter with both sugars for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. The mixture should be pale beige and almost whipped.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides between eggs, then mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture on low speed in three additions. Mix until no flour streaks remain. The dough will be thick.
Fold in chocolate chips by hand, saving a handful to sprinkle on top.
Press dough into the prepared pan, smoothing with the back of a spatula. Texture can remain slightly uneven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, aiming for golden edges and a set but slightly soft center. The surface should spring back when gently pressed.
Cool completely in the pan for 30 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
For the frosting:
Beat softened butter until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Add vanilla, 2 tablespoons of cream, and a pinch of salt.
Beat on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add another tablespoon of cream if frosting is too thick.
Once the cookie cake is completely cool, pipe borders around the edge using a star tip. Add sprinkles immediately after piping.
