This chocolate chip cookie Dough Sheet Cake takes the one of my favorite guilty pleasures and turns it into a Texas style sheet cake. You are going to love it!
Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw were coming for a visit on Labor Day weekend. The guys were in charge of manning the grill and smoker for the weekend. I was the dessert committee. I wanted to try making a homemade chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
Since I have been excited about creating new Texas sheet cake recipes I thought it would be fun to make a chocolate chip cookie dough flavored sheet cake. I am especially proud of this one.
It took a lot of thought to come up with the perfect recipe. I did not want this to be like a cookie but rather a cake that tastes like cookie dough.
Cookie dough and brownie batter are two of my favorite things. It doesn't seem right to serve a bowl of cookie dough to your guests, so this cake was the best alternative.
To top it off, I came up with a cookie dough flavored icing. You will not believe how good this is.
IF YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH, YOU SHOULD TRY THIS!

A note from Carlee:
MiMi is right to be proud of this one. It was a fun idea and she did great on the execution. Despite the fact we were all full from a delicious dinner, nobody had a problem finishing their portion. My sisters were both happy to take some home with them as well!

DeleteThis is sheer genius! I love cake, I love cookie dough, I KNOW I'd love cake that tastes like cookie dough!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! It is one of our favorites!
DeleteHi Carlee, I love brownies, but am not sure what cookie dough is. Well I do know, but I'm not sure how it's eaten. Is it just a mix of cookie dough before it's cooked? I do nibble dough when I make cookies or biscuits but I'm not sure how a bowl of raw dough would go down! I've probably got it all wrong. This sheet cake would go down well with me, but then again most things you create would!
ReplyDeletexx
You are right.... it's eaten in sneaky bites from the bowl as you make cookies. This has that kind of flavor, but in cake form so you don't have to be so sneaky! XX
DeleteOh my gosh, this looks spectacular! I love, love, love me some cookie dough, so this is right up my alley :-) The pictures turned out gorgeous too Carlee!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
Me too, cookie dough = happy!! Thanks so much, Jessica!
Deletelove cookie dough!!!
ReplyDeleteme too! It's one of my favorite guilty pleasures!
DeleteWow! This looks scrumptious! Perfect for a summer treat!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz! That means a lot coming from you!
DeleteCarlee, Girl! What are you doing to me??? I haven't had breakfast yet when I decided to pop by and see what you're up to in the kitchen. Now my stomach is growing! I would love a slice, or two, of this to go with my morning coffee. Who am I kidding? I would make this whole thing and then have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Is there anything better than chocolate chip cookie dough? UM... pairing with another favorite, sheet cake! YES!
ReplyDeleteYou don't ever have to talk me into cake for breakfast! We could totally make one and have it for every meal of the day with no complaints. Thanks, Nikki!
DeleteThis is a great sheet cake it looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday. Hope you are having a great day and come back soon!
