Watermelon Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
Watermelon Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, a simple and delicious recipe for making a giant cookie decorated like a watermelon.
Yield: 8
Equipment
Materials
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ cup Butter
- ⅔ cup Light Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 16 oz Buttercream Frosting - divided
- Food Gel Coloring - red or pink and green
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a nine inch pie pan for nonstick.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter with the sugars (brown and granulated), until creamy. Then add the eggs, one egg at a time.
- For the next step, we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl. Do this slowly, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until just combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips.
- Evenly spread the cookie dough batter into your prepared pie pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center and the crust is a light golden brown. Allow the cookie cake to fully cool before decorating the cake. AOnce the cake has cooled down, carefully remove and transfer the cookie cake to the wire rack to fully cool.
- Use a fork to stir the buttercream frosting. Then divide it into two bowls, one with ⅔rds of the frosting and the other with ⅓rd of the frosting. Mix the larger bowl of buttercream frosting with the red or pink gel food coloring until you reach your desired color for the inner watermelon design. Next, mix the remaining ⅓ of buttercream frosting with the green food gel.
- When the cookie cake is fully cooled, spread the pink frosting across the center of the cake with a frosting knife or spatula. Pipe or spread the green frosting around the edges of the cake to create a “rind” look. Garnish the center of the cake with a few chocolate chips to look like watermelon seeds.
