2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2–½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
For Cream Cheese Frosting:

5 tablespoons butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
2–½ cups powdered sugar

¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until creamy.
- Stir in the flour mixture by hand until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide batter among pans and bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and salt, then gradually mix in powdered sugar until smooth.
- For ganache, heat cream until barely simmering, pour over chopped chocolate, stir until smooth, then let cool.
- Stack cookie layers with frosting between each, then drizzle ganache over the top and sides.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the cookie batter to maintain a tender texture.
Ensure ganache is cooled to room temperature before drizzling over the cake.
