🍪 Cookie Cake

Chef notes

Basically a giant cookie baked in a pan with chocolate frosting and sprinkles on top. It's like a cookie and a cake at the same time.the edges get a little crispy and the middle stays soft and chewy. The frosting makes it look like an actual birthday cake. Everyone loved it.
