Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Halloween candy (e.g., candy corn, M&Ms)
Sugars and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Halloween sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-inch round pizza pan to ensure easy cookie cake removal.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine softened butter with granulated and brown sugars, whipping until achieving a creamy, airy texture. Incorporate eggs individually, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Separately, thoroughly whisk flour, baking soda, and salt to eliminate potential lumps. Gradually integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Carefully fold chocolate chips and Halloween candy throughout the dough, distributing ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Transfer dough to prepared pan, spreading smoothly and creating an even layer to guarantee uniform baking and attractive presentation.
- Position pan in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until edges transform into a golden hue and a toothpick inserted centrally emerges clean.
- Remove from oven and allow cookie cake to cool completely on a wire rack, preventing condensation and maintaining ideal texture.
- Once cooled, generously apply buttercream frosting across the surface, creating a smooth, even layer for decoration.
- Embellish with festive Halloween sprinkles, adding a playful and seasonal touch to your spooky dessert.
- Slice and serve this delightful Halloween treat, perfect for sharing with enthusiastic family and friends during seasonal celebrations.
Notes
- Make buttercream frosting extra festive by adding orange or black food coloring for a Halloween theme.
- Swap regular chocolate chips with white chocolate or orange-colored candy melts for a more seasonal look.
- Use gluten-free flour blend if you want a gluten-free version of this cookie cake.
- Store leftover cookie cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
