Instructions
-
For the cookie cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, or use a non-stick baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, and beat until combined.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cookie cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake using a spatula.
To serve:
- Garnish with additional rainbow sprinkles for a colorful, festive touch.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the white chocolate chips with any type of chocolate or leave them out if you prefer.
- For an extra burst of color, use multi-colored sprinkles instead of just rainbow sprinkles.
- The cookie cake can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
