Cosmic Brownie Cookie Cake
This Cosmic Brownie Cookie Cake is everything you want in a cookie, but in cake form! The base is a chewy, rich chocolate cookie topped with ganache and those classic rainbow sprinkles.
Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients
For the cookie cake:
- 1 cup salted butter melted
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
For the ganache:
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate I like to use baking bars but you can use chocolate chips as well!
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cosmic brownie sprinkles
Instructions
For the cookie cake:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Add in both eggs and mix on low until incorporated. Add in the flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix on low until everything is combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease an 11 inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough into the prepared pan and evenly spread to the edges. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges and top are totally set. Remove from the fridge and allow to cool completely.
For the ganache:
- Break the chocolate up into pieces (unless using chocolate chips) and place in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small pot on the stove over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Pour over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add in the vanilla extract and use a whisk to stir until completely smooth. Let cool for 15-30 minutes, or until it is a spreadable consistency.
- Pour the ganache onto the cooled cookie cake and evenly spread to the edges. Top with sprinkles and serve immediately or wait for the ganache to set.
