Cookie Cake

Hey guys! So last weekend my little sister had a fiesta style birthday party. I knew she wanted a cookie cake but the ones from Great American cost like $234372947398.
Basically I made a cookie cake myself and it was delicious.

You can buy the dry cookie mix at the store or you can try this recipe:

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

I had to double the recipe to have enough cookie dough for the large pan I was using. I recommend using a pizza pan lined with parchment paper. Put the dough on the pan and flatten it as much as possible. However, don't push the dough all the way out to the edges, since cookies expand.
Decorate it how you want it to look, I  went all out with the fiesta theme.

And happy birthday, Rachel!
