Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Cake
- 1 pouch or box pumpkin spice cookie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box to make the cookies, typically egg and butter)
Frosting and Decorations
- 1 can cream cheese frosting
- Black gel food coloring
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Make Dough: Prepare the pumpkin spice cookie dough as directed on the package, incorporating the required additional ingredients such as egg and butter.
- Shape and Bake: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the edges are browned and the top is no longer shiny. Remove and let cool completely.
- Color Frosting: Add black gel food coloring to the can of cream cheese frosting to achieve desired color. Stir well for even coloring.
- Frost and Decorate: Once the cookie cake is cooled, spread the colored frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle generously with Halloween sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Store Properly: Store the finished cookie cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness or freeze for up to one month for longer storage.
Notes
- Use any pumpkin spice cookie mix you like; adjust additional ingredients according to package instructions.
- For easy removal, ensure the cake pan is well-lined and sprayed before pressing in dough.
- If black gel food coloring is not available, you can use other dark food colorings or omit for plain frosting.
- Allow the cake to cool fully before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Halloween sprinkles can be substituted with any fall-themed decorations or candy of your choice.
