Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Cake
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Provides structure and stability; ensure proper measurement for the best texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Adds chewiness and softness; can be omitted if you’re short on supplies.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda Helps the cake rise; make sure it’s fresh to get the best lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine sea salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness; make sure it’s at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Enhances chewiness and flavor; using half dark brown sugar can elevate the taste.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Provides sweetness and promotes browning.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the mixture together; the extra yolk increases the chewiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Elevates the flavor; opt for pure extract for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs Brings festive flair and texture; can swap for any chocolate candy.
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Offers additional chocolate flavor; great for texture contrast.
  • 1/4 cup Pastel jimmies (sprinkles) Adds a fun pop of color; optional but brightens the presentation.
For the Frosting
  • 2 cups Confectioners' sugar Sweetens the frosting; can substitute with granulated sugar, if needed.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easter Cookie Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs in a sealed plastic bag using a rolling pin or mallet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat the room-temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  5. Add in the large egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  7. Fold in the crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, chocolate chips, and optional pastel jimmies.
  8. Pour the cookie dough into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 28-30 minutes.
  9. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.
  10. For the frosting, beat softened butter until smooth, add confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix with milk until fluffy.
  11. Once the cake is cool, frost the top generously with buttercream frosting and sprinkle additional pastel jimmies.
  12. Slice the cookie cake into wedges and serve to your family and friends.
