RECIPE
Sugar Cookie Cake
I remember loving cookie cakes growing up, but for some reason I stopped eating them. I remember get them at the mall. So about five years ago, I decided to make a cookie cake. There is something about jimmies and cookies that I just love, which is one of the reasons I love this cookie cake. It is just a big sugar cookie in a cake form. This one is filled with sprinkles and white chocolate chips. I love this cookie cake for an easy dessert. It has a little bit of buttercream, but you don’t have to add the buttercream. I personally like it better with buttercream.
Happy Baking ????

Tips & Recommendations
Use a good sprinkle/jimmie. Not all bake well. You can use a cake pan or pie dish if you don’t have springform pan. Cook time may vary depending on the size of the pan. I only use white chocolate chips from Ghirardelli. They are the only ones I like.
