Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Cake

  • 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter (cool room temperature)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups chopped Oreos

Frosting

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. For a cake pan, line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper arranged in an X shape, then place a parchment paper round on the bottom. For a springform pan, line only the bottom.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer bowl or with a hand mixer, cream together the unsalted cultured butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions to ensure even mixing. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients and Oreos: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until almost combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos with a spatula, gently combining without overmixing.
  5. Bake the Cookie Cake: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan using an offset spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  6. Remove Cake from Pan: If using a cake pan, have someone help you lift the cake using the parchment strips. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and transfer the cookie cake to a serving plate.
  7. Prepare the Frosting: While the cake cools, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable.
  8. Decorate: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip with the frosting. Pipe decorative swirls or patterns on top of the cooled cookie cake. Garnish with sprinkles or additional chopped Oreos if desired.

Notes

  • For best results when measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of scooping directly.
  • Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature before mixing for better texture.
  • Use a knife or offset spatula to help evenly distribute the cookie dough in the pan for even baking.
  • Letting the cake cool completely before frosting prevents melting and sliding of frosting.
  • If you don’t have a pastry bag, a zip-top bag with a corner cut off can be used for piping frosting.
