Birthday Cookie Cake that&#039;s a delightful dessert for your birthday! Soft, chewy birthday chocolate chip M&amp;M cookie cake topped with buttercream frosting &amp; sprinkles!

Birthday Cookie Cake

butter

brown sugar

sugar

tsp vanilla extract

flour

cornstarch

tsp baking soda

chocolate chips

M&M candies

festive sprinkles

Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Then spray an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Batter: Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and creamy. I find this easiest to do with an electric mixer or KitchenAid mixer. After that, add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; continue to mix for 1 minute.

Proceed to stir in the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda and mix again until combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips until just combined, be careful not to overmix.

Bake: Spread the cookie dough into the prepared springform cake pan and top with the M&amp;M candies, gently pressing them into the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let the cookie cool for about 20 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and release the springform pan.

Frosting: Prepare the icing by combining the butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy. Again, using an electric mixer helps greatly with this step.

Then pipe the frosting around the edges of the cake and top with sprinkles. Slice into wedges, serve and enjoy!

This triple-decker dessert is the perfect birthday cake for a cookie lover. With a double chocolate chip cookie layer, a classic chocolate chip cookie layer, a Funfetti white chocolate chip cookie layer and creamy vanilla frosting in between, it truly is the Ultimate Cookie Cake!

Ultimate Layered Cookie Cake

(163 grams) all purpose flour

(57 grams) natural unsweetened cocoa powder

tsp salt

(168 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(112 grams) packed light brown sugar

(104 grams) sugar

(211 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

(260 grams) all purpose flour

(52 grams) sugar

(56 grams) packed light brown sugar

15.25 oz box funfetti cake mix

tbsp (48 grams) all purpose flour

sprinkles

(211 grams) white chocolate chips

(336 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(690 grams) powdered sugar

water

Sprinkles

Mini Vanilla Wafers

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. Set aside.

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color and texture and know it’s ready.

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix. Once it’s well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Dough will be thick.

Press the cookie dough evenly into the cake pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top of the cookie is no longer glossy.

Allow to cool completely in the pan. It will firm up as it cools.

Once cool, quickly invert the cookie onto a cooling rack. Quickly place another cooling rack on the bottom of the cookie (which is now facing up) and invert again, so that the cookie cake is upright.

Make the Double Chocolate Layer

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.

Press the cookie dough evenly into the cake pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the top of the cookie is no longer glossy.

Make the Classic Layer

Add the cake mix and flour to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix. Once it’s well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.

Stir in the sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Dough will be thick.

Press the cookie dough evenly into the cake pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the top of the cookie is no longer glossy.

To make the buttercream, add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.

Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.

Add the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of cream or water and mix until well combined and smooth.

Add the rest of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add more cream or water to get the right consistency.

Use a sharp knife to remove the top raised edges from the cookie layers. The centers of the cookies fall a bit and it can be good to cut off the edges, so that the layers are even.

Place the double chocolate cookie cake on your cake plate. Pipe an even layer of buttercream on top of the cookie cake. I use my Ateco 844 tip.

Add the classic chocolate chip cookie cake to the top of the buttercream layer. Add another layer of buttercream on top of the cookie cake. 

Add the funfetti cookie cake on top, then pipe swirls of buttercream around the top edge of the cake. I used my Ateco 844 tip. 

Decorate the cake with some sprinkles, mini vanilla wafers and mini chocolate chip cookies.

Make the Funfetti Layer

I made this for my daughter’s birthday. It was exactly what she wanted. Thanks.
