NO BAKE COOKIE CAKE

No-Bake Cookie Cake: A Birthday Treat Twist For my son's recent birthday, he requested a dessert that combined the flavors of no-bake cookies with the presentation of a cake. Intrigued by the idea, I adapted my classic no-bake cookie recipe into a delightful No-Bake Cookie Cake. This version excludes peanuts to accommodate my daughter's allergy, making it a safe and enjoyable treat for everyone. Here’s how you can recreate this easy and delicious dessert: Ingredients: 2 cups sugar 1 cup butter 1/2 cup milk 4 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 cups quick oats (use gluten-free quick oats for a gluten-free version) 3/4 cup chocolate chips Instructions: Prepare the Cookie Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to cook and stir for 1 minute. Add Flavorings and Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the quick oats and chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the chocolate chips have melted. Form the Cookie Cake: Line a round cake pan (9-inch or 10-inch diameter) with parchment paper for easy removal later. Alternatively, you can grease the pan lightly. Pour the cookie mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Chill and Set: Place the cake pan in the refrigerator to chill until the cookie mixture firms up. This usually takes about 1-2 hours. Serve: Once firm, remove the cookie cake from the refrigerator and carefully lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut the cookie cake into wedges or slices and serve. Storage: Store any leftover cookie cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for several days. Tips for Success: Texture and Consistency: Ensure the cookie mixture boils for at least 1 minute to achieve the right texture when it cools and sets. Flavor Variations: Feel free to customize your cookie cake by adding chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even sprinkles to the mixture before chilling. Presentation: For a festive touch, decorate the top of the cookie cake with whipped cream, additional chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving. Conclusion: No-Bake Cookie Cake offers a fun twist on the classic no-bake cookie recipe, transforming it into a cake-like dessert that’s perfect for birthdays and special occasions. With its rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, this treat is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Enjoy creating this simple yet impressive dessert that combines the best of both cookies and cake in every delicious slice!
