About the bake
If you're a Millie's Cookie fan, you're going to love this one. Layered up with three scrummy tiers of white, milk and dark chocolate chip cookies, sandwiched together with fluffy chocolate and vanilla buttercream - this one is worth the effort, we promise you won't be disappointed by this squidgy, gooey cookie cake recipe.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 180'c, 160'c fan Grease and line the bases of 3 x 20cm sponge tins. Cream together the butter and sugar for the cookies until smooth and soft.
Step 2:
In another bowl, combine the flours, cornflour and salt.
Step 3:
Add the vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture, and then the eggs, one at a time.
Fold in the rest of the flour and then all the chocolate chips. You should have a soft, sticky dough.
How to prevent curdling
Add a spoon of flour with each egg addition if you feel the mixture is about to curdle. This will prevent it from doing so.
Step 4:
Divide the dough equally between the tins and spread to make a flat, level surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, then allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out to cool completely on a rack.
Smoothing out the dough
Try using a small glass as a rolling pin to really smooth out the surface before baking.
Step 5:
To make the chocolate frosting, combine the ingredients in a processor, stand mixer or
mix by hand until smooth and combined. If you can mix the frosting for up to
five minutes it will become lighter and softer.Step 6:
Repeat this process to make the vanilla frosting. Combine the ingredients in a processor, stand mixer or mix by hand until smooth and combined.
Frosting timings
If you can mix each frosting for up to five minutes it will become lighter and softer.
Step 7:
Once the cookies have cooled, spread chocolate frosting on the top of the first cookie and then spread the vanilla frosting on the other. Stack these together to make a sandwich with an iced surface on the top.
Top with the final cookie and decorate the top by either piping or spreading with the remaining frostings and some sprinkles.
