Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp cake batter flavoring
  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips *use your favorite
  • 1 cup colored sprinkles

Chocolate Frosting

  • 6 tbsp salted butter softened
  • 2 oz cream cheese room temp
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream + more, if needed

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth, light in color and fluffy. This will take a few mintues.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the egg and cake batter flavoring.
  • Once completely combined, stop the mixer and add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Once the dry ingredients are mixed in, add in the chocolate chips and mix until thoroughly distributed.
  • Divide the cookie dough into 5 equal parts (each portion was 244g for me). Roll into a ball and then flatten slightly and arrange on a parchment lined cookie sheet. The cookies will spread so unless you have a 3/4 sheet, I would bake on two separate half sheets. (the photos in this post show a 3/4 sheet).
  • Bake at 350° F for 14-16 minutes, until the cookies spread, the edges start to crackle and the center no longer looks wet.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.once the cookies have cooled completely, make the frosting.

Frosting

  • Make the frosting by whipping the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until it is combined before adding another cup.
  • Add in the cocoa powder.
  • Add heavy cream 1 tbsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency.
  • Assemble your cookie cake by layering a thin layer of frosting in between each cookie and then decorating the top with swirls of frosting and extra sprinkles.
  • Enjoy!
