Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan so nothing sticks during baking.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should look smooth and glossy.

Combine Mixtures Together: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture while mixing gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix unless you want a tough cookie cake instead of soft perfection

Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips—this is where magic happens You can even reserve some for topping later if you’d like them melted on top.

Now pour the batter into your prepared baking pan evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown edges appear. The center should spring back when lightly touched.

Let your cake cool completely before frosting it with colorful icing or whipped cream—this is where you can unleash your inner artist Decorate generously with sprinkles before slicing.

And voilà You’ve successfully created an unforgettable Easter Cookie Cake that’s sure to be the star of any gathering
