JojoM
A rich, bakery-style chocolate cookie cake loaded with chocolate chips, peanuts and caramel notes from piloncillo—soft, gooey and perfect for sharing.
Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cake 🍫🍪
This bakery-style chocolate cookie cake brings together three kinds of chocolate, caramel undertones from piloncillo, and a generous handful of peanuts for the perfect sweet–salty balance. It bakes into a soft, gooey centre with crisp, golden edges, making it ideal for celebrations, casual gatherings, or any moment that calls for a decadent treat.
A One-Pan Dessert with Big Chocolate Flavour ✨
If you love giant chocolate chip cookies, this version takes the concept to the next level. The dough is enriched with piloncillo, a traditional unrefined sugar that melts into deep toffee notes as it bakes. Combined with dark and milk chocolate chips, every slice delivers pockets of molten chocolate and crunchy peanuts on top.
Because it's baked in a single round pan, it’s a fuss-free option—just mix, press, bake, and enjoy. No chilling and no shaping required!
Why This Cookie Cake Works
- Triple chocolate punch for maximum indulgence 🍫
- Piloncillo enhances caramel flavour and keeps the centre extra gooey
- Peanuts on top add crunch and balance the sweetness
- Soft, chewy texture thanks to gentle mixing and controlled bake time
- Customisable—add frosting, ice cream, or extra nuts
Texture & Flavour Notes
Expect a chewy, brownie-like middle with crisp edges. The blend of sugars ensures depth and moisture, while the generous chocolate pieces create melty pools throughout. The peanuts bring a subtle roasted aroma that cuts through the richness.
Tips for the Best Cookie Cake 📝
- Reduce the first bake by 2 minutes for an ultra-gooey centre.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to complement the piloncillo’s natural caramel flavour.
- Avoid overmixing once the flour is added—this keeps the crumb tender.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum effect!
FAQ ❓
Can I replace piloncillo?
Absolutely—muscovado or dark brown sugar will offer a similar deep caramel flavour.
