HOW TO MAKE A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
You don’t want to be a posh pants baker to make the worlds greatest chocolate chip cookie cake. And yes, here's the worlds greatest chocolate chip cookie cake. It would possibly appear intimidating with three layers but it's as simple as pie… err, cookies.

We made the cookie layers through spreading the cookie dough into three cake pans. But there are some secrets and techniques to getting the chewy, comfortable texture of those big cookies.

TIPS FOR A CHEWY COOKIE
1. MELT THE BUTTER.
The first mystery to getting a dense, chewy texture is to bounce with melted butter. Melted butter is considered one of the issues I love about this recipe.

No issues for those who overlook to permit your butter sit out and soften. Just stick it within the microwave or in a saucepan and permit it melt.  Melted butter creates a denser, chewier cookie. That’s tip quantity one.

2. EXTRA EGG YOLK.
Tip quantity two, and the different mystery for a dense, chewy and moist cookie is the addition of egg yolks. Why does this recipe name for NULL eggs AND NULL egg yolks?

The further egg yolks upload extra fats which retains the cookie tender, moist and chewy. You would possibly marvel why we don’t simply upload extra fats within the type of extra butter.? Too a lot butter will make the cookie layers greasy and stay away from them from baking completely.

The relaxation of the recipe is quite standard. If you may make cookies, you may make this chocolate chip cookie cake with cream cheese frosting.

WHAT KIND OF PANS DO YOU NEED FOR THIS CAKE?
Normally, while I make a cake I use nice high caliber cake pans which may perhaps be a minimum of NULL inches tall. Since this isn’t a primary ‘cake’ but a cookie cake, you truly don’t want to make use of a actually deep cake pan.

For this recipe, for those who don’t have three typical sized cake pans, you may get away with a pair of low cost greenback shop cake pans. The cookie dough could have some rise but to no longer the similar volume as a typical cake recipe.

So cross get some greenback shop cake pans and make this cake…..eer….. big layered cookie for someone.
