Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

Adapted from a recipe by Slice of Sueshe

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, room temp
½ cup & 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup & 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Filling
1 cup chocolate/caramel chips
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans, set aside.
In a medium bowl sift or whisk the flour and baking soda, set aside.
Cream together the butter and the sugar, until it turns pale yellow in color (about 2 minutes). Add in the sugars, salt and vanilla. Cream until smooth.
 Add the egg and beat on low until incorporated. Stir in the chip or chunks.
Divide the dough between the two cake pans. To get even dough amounts I weighed the dough then split it in half. Pat the batter into the pans. I let my batter come it just about a ½ inch from the edge. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes.
Allow to cool completely.
