Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Spread frosting over top. Decorate with optional toppings as desired.

EASY SUGAR COOKIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. You should be able to see the change in color and texture and know it's ready.
• Add the egg and mix until well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough is just well combined. Do not over mix. Once it's well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
• Press the cookie dough evenly into the cake pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
• Allow to cool completely in the pan. It will firm up as it cools.
• Once cool, quickly invert the cookie onto a cooling rack. Quickly place another cooling rack on the bottom of the cookie (which is now facing up) and invert again, so that the cookie cake is upright.
• To make the buttercream, add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
• Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
• Add the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of cream or water and mix until well combined and smooth.
• Add the rest of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add more cream or water to get the right consistency.
• Place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a piping tip (I used Ateco 847) and pipe shells of frosting around the outer edge of the cake.
