Timesaving and Expert Tips for This Recipe

  1. Wait until the cookie cake has completely cooled before cutting. Cutting a warm or hot cookie cake can cause it to crumble and break apart.
  2. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the cookie cake. A dull knife may crush the cookie and make it difficult to cut cleanly.
  3. Cut the cookie cake into wedges like a pizza or into squares like a traditional cake. Use a ruler or a measuring tape to ensure even cuts.
  4. If you're having trouble cutting through the chocolate chips, try dipping your knife or pizza cutter into hot water before making each cut. This can help melt the chocolate slightly and make it easier to cut through.
  5. Serve the cookie cake with a spatula or a cake server to prevent it from breaking apart when you transfer it to a plate.
  6. Store any leftover cookie cake in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to three days.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
