This mall cookie cake recipe is soft, chewy, sweet, and nostalgic — the perfect easy base for classic bakery cookie cakes or personalized creation
Baker’s Note:
This cookie cake recipe is intentionally developed with a higher fat ratio to achieve that signature soft, chewy mall-style texture. The bakery that uses this recipe keeps their cookie cakes chilled after baking, allowing them to firm up and set beautifully after a rest of about 1½ to 2 hours (longer if you prefer a cold, sliceable cookie cake).
I’ve also tested this recipe many times at home for same-day baking with no chill, and it works great as long as you’re baking with a reliable oven thermometer and can read visual doneness cues.
If the center looks noticeably wet or greasy, it should not be pulled yet, even if that means baking a couple minutes past the recommended window. The edges should be set and lightly golden, and the center should appear just underbaked — it will continue to set as it cools.
This style of dough is designed to be soft when warm, then firm up as it cools, creating that classic chewy cookie cake texture.
