Description
A multi-layered cookie cake recipe that serves as a delicious centerpiece.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup frosting for layering and topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Press the dough down firmly to form an even layer in each pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookie cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, place one cookie cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting evenly over the top.
- Place the second cookie cake layer on top of the frosting. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
- Chill the cake briefly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use your favorite store-bought or homemade frosting.
- For cleaner slices, chill the assembled cake for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Press the dough firmly into the pans; this prevents the cookie from spreading too much during baking.
