I have a few kiddos who don’t like cake, can you believe it? But I have the perfect solution for them. This Cookie Cake is such a great way to celebrate. It is easy to make and absolutely delicious. No matter where I take this cake, it is always a huge hit.
Making Ahead
Since this cookie cake needs to cool before you can frost it, it is a great recipe to make the day before your party or celebration. You can make both the cake and the frosting the day before. The cookie cake can be covered and kept on the counter, but the frosting should be stored in the refrigerator. Frost the cake just prior to serving.
Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix the wet ingredients. Beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and egg yolk, and then the vanilla. Combine the wet and try ingredients. Mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips. Bake the cookie cake. Add the dough to a greased springform pan and bake until the edges of the cake are golden brown. Add the frosting. Once the cookie cake has cooled completely, pipe the frosting onto it. See below for how to make Chocolate Frosting.
To get the nice piping like in the photos, you will need to use a piping set. I share the one I have below that is perfect for cookies, cakes, and cupcakes! Store any leftover cookie cake, covered, on the counter for up to three days. If it has been frosted, it should be stored in the refrigerator.
