Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake for National Chocolate Chip Day!

It’s National Chocolate Chip day! YAY! To celebrate, I went BIG with this 3 layers mini cookie cake! Why? Because regular chocolate chip cookies can be boring.

But a 3 layer chocolate chip cookie cake extravaganza make you feel more like this:

I tried to do a ombre effect with the frosting by using different amounts of cocoa powder in the frosting but, I’m not sure if you can really see it. Oh well  – it still tastes awesome! The cookies are super butter-y and chocolate-y and straight up delicious. Honestly there isn’t much for me to say other than the fact that I made it and then immediately stuffed my face with it. Because portion control is for losers. 

Also remember to share you’re re-creations with me by tagging me with #prettypolymath. Also 1 more week before the premiere of Masterchef! See if I get the coveted white apron on May 20th on Fox! I’ll be live tweeting (and maybe Periscoping) throughout the entire episode! Don’t forget to join me on #TeamHetal!

Instructions

Cookies Cake

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease four 4 inch spring bottom pans with butter.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix. Make sure to scrape down the bowl!
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornflour. Add to the wet mixture and mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Add equal amounts of cookie dough to each pan (if you’re OCd like me, it’s about 7 oz of dough each) Spread the cookie dough so that it is level. The dough will be wet but try your best to level it.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes and cook until completely cold.

Icing

1. Combine butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder and condensed milk until completely smooth.
2. Ice the cooled cookies and layer as you wish! You can do two 2 layer cookie cake or one 3 layer cookie cake like me!
3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to help the icing firm up a bit. Enjoy!
