Recipe
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9" springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and has lightened in color. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs and egg yolk to the butter-sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Just before all the flour is fully incorporated, toss in the semisweet chocolate chips and mix until the dough comes together.
- Spread this cookie dough evenly in the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle an extra handful of chocolate chips on top of the dough, gently pressing them in.
- Bake the cookie cake for 22-25 minutes, or until it's evenly puffed with lightly golden edges.
- Let the cookie cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill it for about an hour until it's no longer warm.
Chocolate Frosting:
- Once the cookie has completely cooled, it's time to make the frosting. Begin by adding the room-temperature butter to a mixing bowl.
- Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the butter until smooth. This can be done by hand or with an electric mixer.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder along with one tablespoon of milk. Mix well, and assess if an additional tablespoon of milk is needed for the desired consistency.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a large French star tip with the frosting. Pipe a delightful border of frosting around the edge of the cookie cake and finish with a sprinkle of rainbow-colored sprinkles.
