Cookie Cake

An easy project this week, a cookie cake. Special request from my daughter for her birthday celebration. I use an old recipe, meaning a recipe someone gave me years ago. From the photocopy, it comes from one of those wrappers around a piece of Wilton bakeware, you know, the ones that have recipes on the back. I have no idea where it came from other than that.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation
:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray pan with vegetable pan spray.
  2. In large bowl, cream butter with sugars.
  3. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt, mix well.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Spread dough into  prepared pan with spatula.
  7. Bake 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown.
  8. Cool on rack 5 minutes.
  9. Remove from pan. Cool before cutting and decorating.
  10. Makes 8-10 servings.

Additional notes:
  • I used royal icing to write on the cake. I had purchased tools to work with melted chocolate but used one of the small bottles for the icing. It actually was more comfortable to write with than a pastry bag.
  • The cookie cake's surface is of course very irregular, so do not expect miracles for the writing.
  • The shape of the cake is also irregular as I used a pretty big pan (a pizza pan) and the dough was a good 1.5 to 2 inches from the edges. The cookie did not expand much and reach the edges. Thus the irregular shape.
  • I baked it for 20 minutes. Next time, I'll probably lower the time to 17 minutes. Good color and good taste, not dry, but I wished for a bit more chewiness.

    My name is Anne-Sophie and I've always enjoyed baking. I've decided to try and spend more time trying new recipes and would like to share the journey. I am particularly (but not exclusively) interested in French/Belgian recipes.
