Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons red gel food coloring
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (230g) softened butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar until fluffy. Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, then mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (10g) cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until combined.
  4. Mix in 2 tablespoons red gel food coloring until the dough is evenly colored.
  5. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Beat 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  8. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie cake. Use a piping bag for decorative swirls if desired.
  9. Chill the cookie cake for 20-30 minutes after frosting to make slicing easier.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid a tough texture.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.’, ‘Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal.’, ‘Chill the frosting if it feels too soft before spreading.’, ‘Tent the cookie cake with foil if it starts browning too quickly.’]
