Ingredients:
For the Oreo Cookie Dough:
- 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, cool room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chopped Oreos
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the Vanilla Frosting:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. For a cake pan, line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper in the shape of an X, then place a parchment paper round to line the bottom. For a springform pan, you only need to line the bottom.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and sea salt, mixing until almost combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan using an offset spatula. Bake for 22-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before removing the cookie cake.
- Make the Vanilla Frosting:
- In a bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until combined. Mix in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Decorate the Cake:
- Once the cookie cake is completely cooled, fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip with the frosting. Pipe decorative swirls on top of the cake.
- Garnish with additional chopped Oreos or sprinkles for an extra touch of elegance.
