Ingredients
  

Cookie Cake
  • 3 cups All purpose flour
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Frosting
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 3x9 inch baking pans
  • Stand mixer
  • Medium mixing bowl

Method
 

Cookie Cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 3X9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper. (If there is anything I've learned in baking is always grease the parchment paper).
  2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
  3. Use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on a medium-high speed until smooth. This took about 5 minutes. Add the eggs individually followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure it's evenly distributed.
  4. Slowly add bowl of dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients. Mix on a low setting until evenly combined. Then add the chocolate chips. The dough will be VERY thick and sticky.
  5. Divide cookie dough between the pans and press down to make flat and even.

  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cake layers are lightly brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. You'll probably get melted chocolate chip on there and that's fine.
  7. Let completely cool.

Frosting
  1. Beat the butter and peanut butter together on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Then add the sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 Tablespoon milk. After completely mixing, add the second tablespoon of milk. You can add more milk if you find the frosting too thick.
Assembly:
  1. Place 1 cake layer on stand. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Add each layer with a layer of frosting. Then add frosting to the sides.
  2. Stored covered in your refrigerator
