Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer Cake Details
Texture This chocolate chip cookie layer cake does NOT taste like cakeits more like thick chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie layer has crispy edges and super soft centers.
Flavor Each bite combines thick and soft chocolate chip cookies with creamy peanut butter chocolate frosting. We like to serve it with vanilla or coffee flavored ice cream.
Ease For a towering cake the process is pretty straightforward. You make the cookie cake batterdough and divide it between however many pans you have available. After the cakes bake set them aside to cool while you prepare the frosting. Then you assemble the layers of cake and frosting.
Time This recipe usually takes about 3 hours in total but this ultimately depends on the number of pans you have. We use three 6inch pans and had to bake the cookies in a couple batches. If you have more pans you wont need as much time or if you have fewer pans itll take longer.

Each of these frosting recipes makes enough for most cakesize options a 6inch 5layer cake a 6inch 3layer cake a 9inch 3layer cake or a 9inch 2layer cake. If you make a 2 or 3layer cake youll have plenty of frosting for the filling top and sides. If you make a 6inch 5layer cake pictured youll have enough frosting for the filling and top but not quite enough for the sides. Itll be naked cake style.

Alternate Pan Sizes
We love 6inch cake recipes because they seem less overwhelming than 9inch layer cakes. You still have a lot of fun stacking and decorating but there wont be quite as much cake. If you dont have 6inch cake pans or a special occasion
