I love the cookie cakes at the mall and this is a yummy, simple, and cheaper alternative. Plus, IT IS A LOT BETTER. The cookie cake is fudgy and the frostings are silky smooth and sweet. This is the perfect recipe for beginner-bakers. The design is completely customizable. You can take this idea and use sugar cookie dough, or use colored buttercreams. Feel free to add M&M's to the top of the cookie cake before baking.
