In reply to Savanah. Hi Savannah! I think it could work. I would probably increase the recipe by 50%. :)

Can I make this in a 9×13 Wilton cake pan? If so would I need to 1.5 or double?

In reply to rhonda. Hi Rhonda! You can make this in advance. It may need an extra minute in the oven, but I would still check it at the indicated time. :)

Love your recipes but haven’t tried this one yet. Can i prep this ahead, chill for a few hours then bake? Any changes to baking time with this method.

I made this as a gift for someone. Unfortunately my oven was faulty and it under baked it. I thought it was ok when I took it out of the oven but when I turned it over , I found the whole bottom was un baked. It was really sad. I re – baked the bottom but It didn’t look presentable. But it tasted good! I’m going to make this again but not use the same oven! Apart from it under – baking it tasted amazing and the top turned out well.

In reply to Katie. Hi Katie! I haven't personally baked it in those pans so I'm not sure exactly how to do it. It's going to be tricky to do it by 1.5 with the egg. I think I would do the 1 egg and 1 egg yolk and then scramble another egg in another bowl and split that in half and add it in with the 1.5 egg. Let me know how it turns out. :)

I made mini cookie cakes for Valentine’s Day using this recipe and they were a hit! Do you have any advice on making this into either a 12inch round, or a half sheet pan? if I were to multiply the recipe by 1.5, what would I do about the eggs? Thanks for always giving the best cookie recipes!

In reply to Brenda. Hi Brenda! These should be fine to stack. :)

Hello! Is this stackable? I was planning on make two batches and layering them with the frosting in between.

Love this easy treat. I made it into a Christmas Cookie Cake for a small family gathering tonight. Had all ingredients on hand. It baked beautifully. I have a 9” removable bottom cake pan which was perfect for this.
Added Christmas sprinkles in the cookie and on the frosting, which is also delicious itself.
The cookie was soft and chewy in the center with a crisp edge…just like a chocolate chip cookie should be.
I really loved this easy recipe and will be making it for other holidays as well. Tagged you on instagram . It’s so pretty!

In reply to Stacy. Hi Stacy! You can just use a little more powdered sugar. :)

In reply to Sheila. Sorry for the confusion, Sheila! We have fixed the instruction text. It is one egg and one egg yolk.

In reply to Sam. do you mean it takes 2 eggs altogether 1egg plus 1 egg yoke

By: Sam

Sam — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 02:17:31 +0000

In reply to B. You will just want to add 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. :)

Recipe says 1 egg plus 1 yolk but the text says add eggs (plural) plus yolk. Which is correct?

Hello Sam
Made this for a birthday at my granddaughter’s work. I loved making this cookie cake. It was so easy to make and baked up with a beautifully golden top. I frosted the edges with your “My Favorite Chocolate Frosting” which is the only chocolate frosting I use anymore. Love that recipe.
Granddaughter said the cookie cake was wonderful and the whole crew loved it. They said it was the best cookie cake they have ever had. Thank you for being my go-to web site for my baking needs.

In reply to Carol. That should work! It will be thinner and need less time in the oven
