Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

You know you’ve admired them.

Those tempting cookie cakes in brightly lit cases at the mall, each one lovingly swirled with frosted greetings and candy accents, are like the sirens of confection.

Sure, you could pick one up at the store, but why do that when it’s so easy to make one at home?  This three step recipe is remarkably easy, but everyone will think you’re a baking genius.

It’s fun to be thought of as a baking genius.  You get comments like, “I don’t know how you do it!” and “I wish I could bake like that!” to which you can respond with a mysterious Mona Lisa smile and a modest lowering of the eyelids.

Whip up this chocolate chip cookie cake recipe for birthdays, graduations, or just any old time you feel like having some fun.

Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

I’m using Nestle Toll House Baking Mix to make mine even easier to make.  It’s a way to do your very best baking without exerting yourself too much.  These new baking mixes come in four different varieties.

Toll House Brownie Mix

  • Brownies & More with Butterfingers
  • Brownies & More with Chocolate Morsels
  • Cookies & More with Butterfingers
  • Cookies & More with Chocolate Morsels

Since I’m making a classic chocolate chip cookie cake, I selected the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Cookies & More Cookie Baking Mix with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels.

Toll House Butterfinger Cookie Mix

I picked mine up at Target in the baking aisle.  You can use this Ibotta offer to save, too.

These baking mixes are made with premium ingredients, have no artificial colors or flavors, and are versatile enough to use in many different types of recipes.  Check out these baking ideas for inspiration.

If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy putting your own special twist on a cookie cake, and you’ll feel very proud that you made it yourself!

Tips for Making a Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

  • Make sure that you pat the dough out evenly, and not too thin.  If it’s too thin, it will break up when you try to move it after cooling.
  • Ovens vary in temperature, so turn on the oven light and look through the oven window every now and again to check your cookie cake’s progress.
  • It is better to slightly overbake than to underbake.  Slight overbaking might give you a crunchy edge, but underbaking is nearly impossible to fix once the cookie cake has started to cool.
  • Get fancy!  Have some frosting and colorful candies on hand to decorate your chocolate chip cookie cake once it cools.
  • You can make a double-decker cookie cake by baking two of this chocolate chip cookie cake recipe.  Once the cookie cakes are cool, spread or pipe frosting on one, then stack the other on top.  Decorate as desired.

    That looks so delicious! My sister makes chocolate chip cookie cakes for her customers and they are always so fun to decorate and EAT. I’ll have to try making this on my own and without her help. It looks great!

    I love cookie cakes because there are so many ways you can decorate them for birthdays, parties and more. I am going to have to check out these Nestle Toll House Baking mixes because with the warmer weather, I get the desire to bake. I know my family would love volunteering to eat my creation.

    My son always asks for a cookie cake for his birthday. I skipped making one last year because the one I made the year before didn’t turn out quite right. These tips will help me make one for him this coming year.

    I can’t wait to try this! My kids love the cookie cakes, and it never dawned on me to just do it on my own. I’m curious, did you make the double layer? What would happen if I used two boxes to make it thicker?

      I didn’t make the double layer this time. If you combined two boxes to make one thick cookie cake… well, you’d definitely have to bake it longer. I wouldn’t make it too thick, or it might not bake through all the way.

    There is just something about a large cookie that just makes it taste better. I’m a huge lover of Butterfinger, so I’m super excited to try that mix. You have me craving chocolate chip cookies so bad!
