Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. 🎂🍪🍫 my chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve been perfecting for over a decade! Now…. A cake. ❤️ with the cutest little bunny topper from camphollowstudio 🐇👑
Recipe:
1 1/2 cups butter flavored shortening (or butter don’t @ me.)
1 tbs milk 
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 
4 large eggs (or 1 cup apple sauce for vegan)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking soda 
1 1/2 teaspoons salt 
2 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate  chips/morsels/chunks + more for topping

In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. 
Add the shortening, sugars and milk to your stand mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl to make sure everything is evenly incorporated. Add the eggs in one at a time as well as the vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated. Stop to scrape the bowl as needed. 
Turn the mixer to low and begin adding the flour mixture slowly. Once all the flour is added scrape the bowl again. Often there are unmixed bits in the bottom. 
With the mixer set to low add in the chocolate chips. Mix just until combined. This takes only a few seconds.
Transfer dough to an airtight container and place in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours.
Once chilled ball out the cookies using a 1/3 cup measuring cup. Press them down into a 1/2 inch thick disk.
Bake at 350° for approximately 15-20 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Allow to cool on pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. 
Place a layer of frosting (recipe in comments) between each layer! Stack as high as you’d like! #chocolatechipcookie #bakersgonnabake #whimsy #gooeycookies #cookiecake
