Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

I did make this on Sweets Sunday but it did have to sit over night and we will be enjoying this as I type this. I seen this recipe on Food Network so no I did not think of this one but I did think it was a great idea. I'm not a huge fan of cake but this is the perfect solution. Use the cookies to make a layer and make homemade whipped cream to put in between. This cake is definitely a good way to have your kids and grandchildren to help out in the kitchen. Easy enough to have them mix things together and most definitely making the whipped cream.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

• 2 Cups flour
• 1 Tsp salt 
• 1/2 Tsp baking soda 

Whisk all together and set aside.

• 2 Sticks unsalted butter 
• 1 Cup packed brown sugar 
• 1 Cup granulated sugar

Mix together in mixer, then add;

• 1 Tbs vanilla extract 
• 2 eggs 

Turn off mixer and add 2 cups of chocolate chips. This mixture is a little on the wetter side than normal and this is fine. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper and place cookie scoops 2 inches apart. Cook for 12-15 minutes. The cookies should be on the crispy side and flat. These make the cookie layers. Put them on a cooling rack until completely cooled. 

Whipped Cream 

• 1 Tbs vanilla extract 
• 3 Cups heavy cream 
• 1/4 Cup confectioners sugar

Mix all in the mixer with the whisk until the cream makes still peaks. Add a layer of cookies then a layer of cream. I layered my cake with 4 layers of cookies. End your layer with cream and top with chocolate chips. Let this sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours if not overnight. The cookies need to soften to make this more like a cake. 

Jake says this cookie is decadent and not overly rich. The cream and chocolate chips make for a happy marriage. The chocolate chips add a perfect texture. I hope to see everyone again next week for another sweet!
