Chocolate Chip Cookie – Soft Cake Recipe

Chocolate chip cookie on a plate can be a soft mini snack to satisfy a sweet tooth.

…Soft cake cookies that were like the paler and light Entenmann’s cookies I remember as a child from the bakery section of the grocery store.

They had chocolate chip morsels, in the right spots and in each bite. They tasted fresh even though they came in a white bakery box with the cellophane top, so you could see the fresh tasting cookies….and maybe why they were in the bakery section, and not in the cookie section. We didn’t know they weren’t baked by the baker back then.

The chocolate chip cookie type were so different than the harder classic chocolate chip versions like Chips-Ahoy!’s in the cookie aisle.

And the bakery chocolate chip cookies didn’t look like most darker colored c.c. versions that use mostly wheat flour and can be a hearty or filling meal for some.

…Like, the packaged massive big Doubletree chocolate chip cookie that ranged from walnut brown and sometimes darker depending who was baking them fresh that day. I sat next to those cookies for a few years in the hotel catering sales office

The DT cookies I remembered started out soft to the bite and crunchy in the middle, and with the walnut bites. It was hard to finish one of those cookies in one sitting. Sometimes that was breakfast for me if it was a busy morning.

And still some there on my desk, a few days later they turned hard like a paper weight. We threw those out but I’m sure someone would have gladly eaten those too. They were still delicious.

But the bakery light and pale chocolate chip cookie box that my family bought were also delicious. Which proves you can like different kinds of chocolate chip cookies for different reasons. 😊

And this cake-like chocolate chip cookie recipe below is delicious too! They’re made from light cake flour. And they’re lightly browned on the bottoms and a hint up the bottom side, but not reaching the tops… so the chocolate chips can shine!

And if you ‘re not familiar with this type of soft but slightly crispy c.c. cookie, and want to give a new chocolate chip cookie recipe a try (that’s not the one on the back of the chocolate chip morsel package), give this one a try and see what you think. It’s low-sugar or no granulated/table sugar if you like.

There’s an easy way to use other baking tools like a metal piping tip to circle around each soft dough cookie and shape the roundish cookies. And then add your chocolate chips.

And in fact, the only sugar that’s required for these ccc’s 🍪🍪🍪 are the chocolate chips. If you’re on that mission, you can also check out my low-sugar desserts.
