How to Make a Cookie Cake

 

Everyone will ooh and aah when you serve this easy cookie cake. The quick cookie cake recipe I use is one of my little culinary secrets.

You guessed my secret recipe if you guessed Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie cookie mix. This recipe only requires butter and an egg. Starting with a mix and add your unique garnishes such as sprinkles, candies, etc., make this a super easy and quick cookie cake.

Cookie Cake Baking Pans

If you are wondering how to make the best cookie cake, then I have some great ideas.  The first is preparing the pan. To save on time and money, I used a 9″ cake pan I had on hand. If your cake pan is smaller than 9″, the mix may over bake the pan’s sides, so remove some batter and make a few drop cookies too.

Tip: The bakery chef’s professional baking tip is to cut a non-stick parchment paper pan liner. I use a pencil and trace the bottom of the pan on the parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

After tracing my pan on parchment paper, I use my favorite kitchen scissors to cut it out. Next, I use bakers non-stick spray to grease the pan and then place the parchment circle in the bottom.

If you double the recipe, you can bake it on a pizza pan.

Cookie Cake Extra Options

How could these chocolate chip cookie cakes get any better? Well, your unique mix of goodies is how. Did I mention that I love Heath candy bars? Can you imagine the culinary delight that would offer a cookie cake?

Baking times can vary according to your pan size. I baked mine for 20 minutes; then I checked to see if done. I added another 5 minute baking time.

Bake until golden brown.

Note: you can only add up to 1/4 cup of mixed in goodies, or your cake will bake over.

Cookie Cake Icing

Icing your chocolate chip cookie cake, what could be sweeter? If you are making a birthday cookie cake, then adding icing is a must. You can frost the entire cake or pipe with a pastry bag around the edge.

Allow the cake to cool to room temperature around 25 minutes before icing.

Note: I used dark chocolate cocoa powder.

 

Birthday Cake

The chocolate chip birthday cake is soft and chewy goodness. Serve with ice cream or alone for a delicious treat.
