We love birthdays around here. Seriously, love birthdays and we make it a big deal.

When you live in a family of 10, you have to make sure that one day a year your child feels like the most important person in the world, and I definitely do that. Since my kids turned 1, I have always made their birthday cakes.

It has become a tradition and the kids love helping out with it. Whether it was a fancy cake or a simple cake the kids love seeing it take shape.

However, I had never tried a cookie cake recipe until a few years ago, and now the kids request it almost every year. It is so delicious and really simple to make.

Ingredients:

butter
sugar
brown sugar
vanilla
eggs
flour
salt
baking soda
chocolate chips

First, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until fluffy in a large bowl.

Second, add the eggs one at a time. Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly.

Next, slowly add flour, salt, and baking soda to the mixture until everything is mixed together really good.

Also, you certainly can use a hand mixer but we love our stand mixer. It gets a ton of use and to this day is such a good investment.

This next step needs to be done by hand. Add the chocolate chips and stir together with a spoon. Don't use the mixer for this.

Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

Finally, the mixture needs to go into a big round cake pan. (This is the wilton pan I use).

Just a tip- I always cover the pan in foil and then spray the foil with non stick cooking spray. It makes it really easy to remove the cookie cake from the pan and clean up is a breeze.

I make a lot of these for the kiddos and that is one tip that definitely saves a bunch of time.

Bake and let cool before decorating. I like to use a cooling rack for the cookie cake.

Now several people get scared of icing a cake but it is super simple to do. First you need to make our Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.

Don't be scared. It is crazy easy to make. I actually made a cookie cake and the icing live on Facebook. You can watch it below.

Once you try this recipe, you will see how easy it is to make your own cookie cake for birthdays and more. It is the perfect dessert for celebrations.

Then you will simply decorate. I suggest you get a Wilton Cake Decorating kit and some Wilton cake decorating bags. Make sure you also watch my live video on me decorating a cookie cake. It is so easy to do!

If you love a soft and chewy cookie cake, this is the best recipe to try. It is a great recipe.

Each bite is so amazing with crispy edges and soft on the inside. Yum! It is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe.
