Birthday Dessert

Giant Cookie Cake
Adapted from Allrecipes.com

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, softened (two sticks)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.

Gradually add flour, salt, and baking soda, beating until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread in throw away foil lasagna pan (13 X 9 rectangle shallow baking pan). I use two and spread the left over in the second pan, sometimes it’s enough for to complete cakes.

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Check to see if it’s a light golden color. Cool cookie in pan on a cooling rack. Once cake is completely cooled decorate as desired. (I typically purchase the confetti icing with the sprinkles and make that into two colors).
