Let’s Make it Together
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan so nothing sticks
Melt the Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until completely liquid. Let it cool slightly before adding other ingredients.
Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, combine melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: Slowly add flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture while stirring gently until combined. You want to see no dry flour left—resist overmixing
Pour into Pan & Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
Cool & Frost: Allow the cookie cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting generously with your favorite icing. Top with colorful sprinkles for that festive touch
