About the bake
We all love a indulgent cookie cake for celebrations but let's face it sometimes these can be pretty pricey, so why not save some pennies and make your own homemade version. This cookie cake would be great for a charity bake sale or school fete, so let your creativity go wild with the decoration. For a soft chewy cookie, we recommend using Billington's Unrefined Light Muscovado Sugar.
