TIPS FOR MAKING COOKIES N CREAM COOKIE CAKE
- Cream together the room-temperature butter and cream cheese. This will take 2 to 3 minutes. Do not skip this step! You want to make sure you beat them together.
- For egg-free, you will want to use an egg replacer. I used Bob's Red Mill and followed the instructions on the package for replacing one egg.
- Make sure to chill the dough for AT LEAST 2 hours!! This is important because if you skip this, your cookie cake will not bake properly and will melt in the oven. You can chill in the fridge overnight to prepare for baking the next day if needed.
- It is best baked in a 9-inch springform pan. The springform pan has removable sides making it super easy to remove from the pan. But you can still make this in a standard 9-inch pan.
- Be sure to use room-temperature ingredients. This ensures no lumps from your butter, and everything blends smoothly.
- Keep a watch on this cake while baking because you do NOT want to overbake. You want to watch for the edges to start lightly browning. Then increase the oven temperature and bake for one more minute to ensure the entire top of the cookie is lightly browned. Increasing the temperature at the end helps brown the top while not burning the edges.
