Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or other mix-ins like nuts, candy, or fruit
  • Optional Decoration Ingredients:
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter
  • Buttercream frosting or whipped cream
  • Food coloring for frosting

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer (or hand mixer)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon for mixing

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips or any other mix-ins like nuts or candy.
  7. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan, pressing it down gently to fill the edges.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before decorating.
  10. Once the cake is cooled, use frosting to decorate it with a "Happy Mother's Day" message or any design you like. Add sprinkles or edible glitter for extra flair.

Notes

  • If you want a chewier cookie cake, take it out of the oven a little earlier. For a crunchier texture, leave it in for a few more minutes.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch round cake pan, you can use any similar-sized pan or even a pizza pan to make the cookie cake larger.
  • You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days before baking. This can enhance the flavor.
  • Personalize your cookie cake with your mom's favorite flavors—such as adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough or using white chocolate chips instead of dark.
  • Be sure to store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
