Frosted Sugar Cookie Cake

This easy to make frosted sugar cookie cake is a favorite amongst children and adults alike. 

Every time I make this frosted sugar cookie cake, someone asks for the recipe. It’s thick, melt-in-your-mouth decadent texture combined with the best buttercream frosting is irresistible. I dare you to try to eat just.one.square.

In fact, I can’t make this frosted sugar cookie cake to bring somewhere without making one for home as well. The girls {and Chris} cheer with joy, and I can’t help but indulge on a few bites as well.

You can make this frosted sugar cookie cake in just about any baking dish – a couple pretty pie dishes, a sheet pan, pizza pan, tart pan, brownie pan or even Pyrex. Just reduce baking time for thinner cakes and remember my secret to a really great cookie cake – always under bake. Under baking gives it that melt-in-your-mouth chewy texture that makes it memorable.

You’ll see my love for cookie cakes over the next couple weeks as we continue to celebrate a month of birthdays. They’re so delicious, kids and adults alike always enjoy them, but I love them because they’re quick, easy, foolproof and look beautiful without any effort.

I’ve received so many requests for this heart shaped tart dish, but unfortunately it’s no longer available. You can get this darling heart pie dish here though and half the recipe. Of course you can use any pizza, cake or casserole dish as well.

A few sprinkles and a pretty dish make this frosted sugar cookie cake beautiful in all it’s imperfections {I’ve never excelled at frosting} and candle ready for birthday celebrations.
