Does the thought of a cookie cake make you think of the mall you visited growing up or the work birthdays and events you attend these days? For me it’s both and that’s part of why I love them so much. The other thing I love about them is that they’re so easy to make and enjoy in the comfort of your own home too! Today’s chocolate chip and funfetti cookie cake is a combination of two favorite cookies.

This cookie cake recipe includes instructions to make half the dough chocolate chip and half the dough funfetti. You can swirl the two together by scooping each randomly into the pie dish. OR, you can make it half and half like you would your Friday night pizza order (a half pepperoni and half mushroom and olive in our house). 

Cookie cake is basically a giant cookie that is perfect for slicing and sharing. You get the crisp edges you love in cookies along with super soft and intentionally underbaked centers. To make the cookie cake more, well, cake-y, we add a little cornstarch. It also helps with making the cake soft.

I decided to make this for our first wedding anniversary since Greg REALLY loves cookie cakes. I was going to make funfetti only but he wanted chocolate chip, so here we are with a compromise. This gives you the best of both worlds: melty semi-sweet chocolate, creamy white chocolate, and colorful sprinkles.

This is really easy to put together since you will be using the same base dough for both. Essentially you will just remove half of the dough while it is naked (aka before adding chocolates and sprinkles). You’ll add the chocolate to the remaining dough, and then swap halves and add the white chocolate and sprinkles. 

Bake this chocolate and funfetti cookie cake in a cake pan or a pie dish. I like using a glass pie dish. You can add some buttercream on top for extra flair. I would recommend just a vanilla American buttercream which is made with butter, confectioners’ sugar, a little milk or cream, and vanilla extract. YUM!
