This festive cookie cake is the perfect sweet treat for Easter, adorable and delicious!

I love this Easter Cookie Cake.  It is soft, chewy and thick, studded with chocolate chips and chocolate eggs.  A thick buttercream rings the edges with more chocolate eggs.  It is delicious and perfect for Easter!  So springy!

There is nothing I love more during the holidays than a cute dessert treat.  This cookie cake is the perfect dessert or for your Easter table.  A perfectly baked cookie cake studded with chocolate chips and mini cadbury eggs this cake is as delicious as it is adorable.  

This will be a hit with kids and adults and it is super impressive but actually easy to make.  

I love making the pastel icing I piped on the edges, it really takes this cookie cake to a new level and make it even cuter!

While I do love making this in the round spring form pan you can double the recipe and make it in a 9×13 if you need to feed a larger crowd.  

I just love this springy cookie cake, the sweet icing and perfect chocolate chip cookie cake are just a spectacular flavor combo that will have everyone coming back for more and the mini cadbury eggs are fabulous in this cake.

I can’t wait for the holidays so I can make this Easter Cookie Cake and can’t wait for you to try it, I know it will soon become an Easter tradition in your family too, it is just too perfect for the holiday season.  

Can I use other chocolate chips?

Of course!! Any flavor of chocolate chips will work great, milk, semi-sweet, caramel, or peanut butter. 

Can I substitute the mini eggs if I don’t like them?

Sure you can!  You would want to substitute with a similar colored candy to get that pastel Easter look.  You can use Easter M&Ms if you like :) 

What should I serve this with?

This is good as is but would be great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle of hot chocolate.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can make this ahead of time.  This will be good to make the day before and it will stay perfect in the refrigerator or tightly covered on the counter until ready to serve.
