Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and combine well. Increase speed of mixer after both eggs have been incorporated. Add in vanilla.
- In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients through salt with a whisk. Using the paddle attachment of mixer, gradually incorporate dry ingredients into butter mixture until all has been combined.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and place onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently press cookie dough with the palm of your hand to flatten.
- Place into preheated oven and back for 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet while making frosting.
- For the Cake:
- Spray a 9-inch skillet or cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cookie dough into skillet or pan and gently spread evenly to all edges of pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cookie cake comes out clean.
- Set aside while making frosting.
Cookie Frosting - Vanilla Bean Buttercream
- In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add confectioner's sugar at 1/2 cup a time. After each cup has been added, increase speed of mixer to incorporate more air. Once all sugar has been added, add in vanilla bean paste and mix well.
- Gradually add half and half, one tablespoon at a time until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Spread frosting on top of cooled cookies or cookie cake.
- Decorate with sprinkles (optional) and serve!
Notes
- If you do not have Vanilla Bean Paste, you can simply substitute vanilla extract.
