Ingredients:
(For the cake)
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
(For the buttercream)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 shortening
3 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
food colour
Instructions:
Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Then beat in the vanilla and egg. Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. The dough will be thick. Fold in chocolate chips.
Chill the dough at least 30 minutes, but overnight if desired.
Make your butter cream by beating the shortening and the butter together until it is smooth. Slowly add in the 3 cups of powdered sugar until combined. Mix in the vanilla and a few drops of food colouring. Stir thoroughly. (It it’s not your desired colour add in a few drops more.)
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a cake tin. Add your cookie dough and bake for 15-20 minutes. Let it cook in the pan for a few minutes until moving it to a wire rack to cool.
When your cake is cool, decorate with your buttercream as desired!
