The cookie itself is a moist, chewy, super chocolatey cookie. It’s filled with chocolate chunks (you could also use chocolate chips) and candy corn. The candy corn is definitely chewy. I like the texture of it in the cookie, but you could leave it out and just decorate the cookie with it if you prefer. Either way it’ll be delicious and festive!

Chocolate Cookie Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9 or 10 inch cake pan by placing parchment paper in the bottom of the pan and spraying the sides with a non stick spray.
2. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
4. Add flour, cocoa and baking soda and mix until combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chunks and candy corn. Dough will be thick and sticky.
6. Spread the dough evenly into the cake pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes. The center may still look a little undercooked but it will firm up and continue cooking as it cools.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely in pan, then carefully remove.
