Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a 10-inch pizza pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired spreading consistency.

Assemble and Decorate

  • Once the cookie cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  • Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Slice and serve.
