Is it a Cake or is it a Cookie?

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share a recipe that I believe is good for many occasions. Many of you have probably heard of a cookie cake before, but how many of you have ever made your own?

Well, it is super easy and inexpensive to make. It is also very easy to personalize your homemade cookie cake.

I made one for a friend who loves cookie cake. I decided to make a traditional chocolate chip cookie cake.

Here is how I did it:

I started with a roll of chocolate chip cookie dough. I lined a greased cookie sheet with the cookie dough. Next, I baked the cookie cake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees, as the package of cookie dough had directed. I waited for the cookie cake to cool before adding toppings. Then, I melted peanut butter in the microwave and drizzled it on top. I also melted some chocolate chips and drizzled them on top. You can never have too much chocolate! Finally, I added some chopped up Reese cups and m&m's to the top and gently pressed them in. I also wrote "Big Fun" on the cookie cake as a joke, because my friend said she wanted her cookie cake to say Big Fun.

Here is a picture of the cookie cake I made:

You could change the kind of candy used as toppings. You could also use a different kind of cookie dough for the cake. I decided to stick to what my friend liked. 

This cookie cake doesn't have to be for a birthday. It is perfect for any occasion.

I want to make another cookie cake using KitKat and Reese cups. Doesn't that sound amazing?

My challenge for each of you is to make your own cake next time, rather than purchasing one from a store. 

Happy Cake Making! I hope you enjoy this recipe.
