Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8” (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt, mix until combined, then add flour on low speed until fully incorporated.
Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
Press the dough into the prepared springform pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The center should be firm and not wet.
Allow to cool completely, about 2 hours, before frosting.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for better mixing.
Allow plenty of cooling time before frosting to prevent melting.
You can substitute with plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
