I am a total wanna-be cook. I try so hard… but I’m just missing the cooking gene. Don’t get me wrong, my family is well fed, it’s just that it’s not my calling in life. I should definitely keep my day job if-you-know-what-I-mean. Now baking… that’s my thing! I LOVE to bake!

When I saw this recipe I had ideas popping all through my mind! Thanks to my “Book Worm Daughter” and her ideas we made a real winner! It’s decadent and the best of cake plus cookie dough… and just enough chocolate to make the chocolate lover happy too! Make this and feel like you are living a DREAM!

 

This is a total “Cheat recipe” I used a box cake mix and prepared glaze and I’m not ashamed to admit it… just don’t tell anyone okay?

See all the fun mixing going on! 

It turns into this glorious pretend chocolate chip cookie dough. No, this is not a dream… it tastes just like the real stuff!

Be careful! If there are little ones in your house be prepared to fight them off as they try to steal your “tools of the trade”. Or just do as I did and hand them over to them… it keeps them happy and busy so you can spread the love cookie dough filling. Then pour on the glaze! Voila! Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake! Enjoy!
