Cooking Games – The Cookie Cake


An easy, but very delicious, cake to make for a friend is a cookie cake. The cookie cakes they sell in the mall and specialty shops can get pretty pricey, but a cookie cake is much less expensive and even better since it comes from the heart. The cake starts with a basic recipe for chocolate chip cookies. The Nestle Tollhouse recipe is a classic and classics are great for this particular situation. Make the cookie dough as directed and then, instead of putting it in small balls on a cookie sheet, press the dough into a jelly pan.

The jelly pan has raised sides that will hold the cake’s shape as it cooks letting it fill in correctly for a uniform appearance. Once the cake is cooked and totally cooled, bust out some icing and sprinkles and decorate it to your liking. You have total freedom with your cookie cake in how you decorate it and if you want to personalize it. The final results of the cooking games is a fun cake that is easy to transport and delicious to eat – yum!
