Quadruple layer cookie cake

A sugar-chocolate chip-brownie-peanut butter cookie cake with marshmallow fluff frosting

Yup, you read that right. Quadruple layer cookie cake. It was what I had planned to make if the Bills were in the Super Bowl. And even though they came up a game short, I made this cake anyways because it is the Super Bowl. The NFL is the one sport that managed to get through it’s entire season without a single cancelled game. For this treat, I went with a peanut butter cookie layer, flourless brownie layer, chocolate chip cookie layer and a sugar cookie layer. I used a marshmallow fluff frosting. I actually make the peanut butter, sugar and chocolate chip cookie doughs the day before and took them out of the fridge about an hour before baking to get them to room temperature so they were easier to press into the pans. If you use a 9 inch cake pan, your baking time will be less. Remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before you start baking. And make sure you don’t overbake your cookie cakes. This cake is quite heavy, so make sure your container is sturdy. You may have to hold it from the bottom when transporting it, or cut the cake ahead of time.

Chocolate chip cookies version 563

Chocolate chip cookies with bread flour

A request came in after work for chocolate chip cookies. I pulled out this one that uses bread flour. They give them bottom and edges of each cookie a different, but nice texture because of the bread flour. They spread out a little more than I prefer, but I chalk that up to the dough not chilling in the fridge for at least a few hours. I made 9 large cookies, using 1/4 cups of dough. Remember to spoon your flour into your measuring cups to get the correct amount and to preheat your oven to 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tsp water (opt)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients. If dough seems too dry, add a tsp or two of water. You may have to mix dough with your hands to get it to come together better. Fold in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger cookies on the sheet. Bake 10 to 13 minutes (there will be light golden patches on top). Cool completely. Store in covered container.

I realize chocolate chip cookies aren’t the first cookie that comes to mind for Christmas, but they are Rob’s favorite, thus, they were included.
