Servings: 10 -12 servings
Equipment
- 12-inch round pizza pan (non stick)
- Mixing bowl
- wooden spoon
- offset spatula
- piping bag
Ingredients
- 1 boxed yellow cake mix - DO NOT use cake mixes with pudding in the mix
- ⅔ cup oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 1 container white frosting
- red, white, and blue sprinkles (or jimmies)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl. combine the cake mix, oil, and vanilla. Mix well with a wooden spoon; stir in chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and a bit sticky. You may even want to use your hands to mix in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly onto the pizza pan. I find it's easier to pat it out with my hands, but an offset spatula works too.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 17 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow the cookie cake to cool completely before decorating it with frosting and sprinkles. Pipe frosting along the using a piping bag and then immediately add the sprinkles to the frosting.**Please note that while you may feel the need to remove the cookie cake from the pan to cool or to serve, resist this urge. Sometimes the cake may crack when doing so. I allow it to cool on the pan, decorate, cut, and serve from it. The slices do not crack when removed this way.
