A new four year old.

This past week we celebrated my fourth child’s fourth birthday. Even though she’s not a carb-lover, when I asked her if she wanted cake she said yes.

Last year I made her a watermelon cake, which was a huge hit, since she loves watermelon. But this year she asked for a chocolate chip cookie cake!

I’d never tried baking a cookie cake, or pizza cookie, or anything like that, but I have made cookie bars before, so I figured it couldn’t be that different. For my inspiration, I used my friend Brianna’s giant chocolate chip cookie recipe from her delicious book The Essential Gluten-Free Cookie Guide. (If you want a little preview of her book, check out my Bacon Cookies post!)

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

This Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is ridiculously easy to make. You basically just make a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, bake them in cake pans, and slap the giant cookies together with frosting. And the whipping cream frosting is sooo delish.

After all my slaving away (kidding, it really is a super easy cake) my little anti-carb child scraped off all the frosting, took two bites, and said she was done.

Sigh. Some days you just can’t win.

Don’t let her reaction fool you though, this cake really is delicious! My hubby and I ate all the leftovers at nap time. 😉

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Free from gluten.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.

In large bowl, place the sour cream. Melt the butter and pour over sour cream. Stir to melt the sour cream, then beat in the sugar and molasses. Add in the eggs and vanilla.

Add all the dry ingredients over the wet ones and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Spread half the dough into each prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cakes.

Dump giant cookies onto cooling racks and cool completely.

Prepare Whipping Cream Frosting (recipe below), and frost the top of the first cookie. Place the second cookie on top and frost the top of it as well as the sides of the cake.

Notes

You can substitute 3 cups of your favorite gluten-free flour blend for the asterisked (*) ingredients. I like these gluten-free flour blends:

Please note that if your flour blend contains xanthan or guar gum, you can leave this ingredient out of the recipe, as well. 🙂

Apparently my son enjoyed the cake, even if his little sister didn’t. 😉 At least someone appreciates me! Haha!
