How to Make the Recipe
To make Ella Chef’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9-inch pans. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, followed by chocolate chips. Spread the dough evenly into the pans and bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until golden and slightly soft in the center. Allow the cookie layers to cool completely before assembling.
For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, then slowly add powdered sugar while mixing. Add milk and vanilla extract to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Once the cookie bases have cooled, spread a generous layer of frosting on one cookie round, then place the second cookie layer on top. Use a piping bag to create decorative swirls around the edges, and top with mini cookies or chocolate chips for a playful touch.
This dessert combines the chewy texture of a giant cookie with the indulgence of a layered cake, making it perfect for birthdays, parties, or casual gatherings. It’s simple, delightful, and guaranteed to satisfy both cookie and cake lovers alike.
