How to Make Cookie Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
-
In a bowl, whisk together softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar until creamy.
-
Add vanilla extract and milk. Mix until well combined.
-
Sift in all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Mix gently until a soft cookie dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
-
Fold in the chopped chocolate.
Step 2: Assemble the Cookie Cake
-
Grease a 6-inch cake tin.
-
Take slightly more than half of the dough and press it firmly into the base.
-
Build a small dough wall around the edges to create space for the filling.
-
Spoon or pipe the prepared chocolate ganache (or Nutella) into the cavity.
-
Cover the top with the remaining dough and seal the edges lightly.
Step 3: Bake
-
Preheat your oven to 170°C.
-
Bake the cookie cake for 25–30 minutes or until the top turns light golden brown.
-
Allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes before unmoulding and slicing.
Tip for Best Results:
Let the cookie cake cool slightly before cutting. This helps the ganache set just enough while still staying perfectly gooey.
