Birthday Cakes

Over and over again I have shared that I love to make my family and friends birthday cakes. My spoiled children somehow end up with about three cakes each, annually. One for family birthday dinner, one to share with friends, and one for their actual birthday.

Is it too many cakes? For sure. But, I love making them and they enjoy having several different treats. Which brings us to today’s cookie cake.

For my son’s actual birthday this year, he requested a cookie cake. I gave him a few different options and he ended up choosing an Oreo Cookie Cake. It turned out to be my favorite of his birthday desserts!

Cookie Cakes

Cookie cakes are wonderful to make for birthday party desserts as they’re quick to put together, easy to make, and easy to decorate. The cookie can also be cut into small pieces to serve a class of children. If you’re looking for other cookie cake ideas, here are two of my favorites:

Funfetti Cookie Cake
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Preparing the Pan

For this recipe, I use a 10 inch round cake pan (I actually use this one from Amazon).

Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan, and then butter and flour the sides of the pan (this can also be done with Baking PAM). This helps to ensure that the cookie removes easily from the pan once it’s baked.

Ingredients

This cookie cake uses the following ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter
    • I generally use unsalted butter to better control the salt in my baking. If you use salted butter, you’ll need to reduce the amount of salt added into the dough.
  • Light brown sugar
  • White sugar
    • The combination of 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar gives the cookie a slightly chewy texture.
  • Egg plus an egg yolk
    • Adding an additional egg yolk helps to keep the cookie cake more moist.
  • Vanilla extract
  • All purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Cornstarch
    • This helps to give the cookie cake a crunchy exterior and soft interior
  • Oreos

Cookies and Cream

Chop up Oreos, or another favorite cream filled chocolate cookie. Just make sure it’s one that you love!

Save a few of the chopped up Oreos to decorate the top of the cake.

You can finish the cake with a simple buttercream frosting and chopped oreos, or decorate it however else you want!

To store the cookie cake, place it in an airtight container, or cover it in plastic wrap. As it uses buttercream for the frosting, I recommend storing the cookie in the refrigerator.

After taking the other photos on this post, I scraped off the icing and decorated the cake like a safari for my son’s birthday dinner.

For anyone needing GF versions, I made this exact recipe, and all I changed was I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free 1:1 flour and GF Oreos. It worked perfectly! Highly recommend this one!
