LAVENDER BUTTERCREAM (recipe below) 💜 steeping dried culinary lavender in simmered milk is the KEY to the most amazing, natural, perfectly balanced lavender flavor in this frosting! It’s the ideal consistency for cake decorating + tastes incredible with my blackberry lavender cake, lemon lavender cake, and london fog cake (all of those recipes are on my blog) 🙌🏽

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CAKE 🍪 for those whofor your loved ones who prefer a thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookie over cake, this recipe is my FAVE! You can serve it warm and gooey or let it settle into a thick and fudgy cookie cake that you can decorate as a party cake 🥳

Get the full recipe link (with buttercream border + decorating tips) in my bio or at https://sugarandsparrow.com/chocolate-chip-cookie-cake/

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CAKE
Serves: 12

1/2 Cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 Cup (100g) packed brown sugar
1/3 Cup (67g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 Tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 Cups (199g) all purpose flour
1 Cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Grease and line an 8-inch or 9-inch round baking pan.
2. Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until uniform. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, then continue whisking until uniform. Whisk in the cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the flour and use a silicone spatula to fold it in until smooth cookie dough forms. Reserve about 1/4 Cup of the chocolate chips and set them aside, then pour the remaining chocolate chips into the cookie dough and fold until evenly dispersed.
5. Press the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and press them in, then bake for 17-22 minutes, until evenly puffed and the edges are lightly golden. It might seem soft in the middle but don’t be tempted to over-bake! It will continue to bake in the pan as it cools.
6. Cool the cookie cake in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature (if you’re planning on decorating with frosting). If you decide not to add the buttercream feel free to enjoy it warm.
