This Sugar Cookie Cake is a delightful twist on the classic sugar cookie, baked as a large, soft, and chewy cake. Perfect for parties or celebrations, it combines the rich flavors of butter, vanilla, and sugar with a tender crumb. Optional toppings like M&M’s or icing add colorful decoration and extra sweetness, making it a festive and crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

For the Sugar Cookie Cake:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 4½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Optional Toppings:

  • M&M’s candies
  • Icing (your choice of flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your sugar cookie cake.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, vegetable oil, white granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat or blend this mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs into the wet mixture, blending thoroughly until fully combined to create a smooth batter.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda until the dough is just evenly blended, ensuring not to over-mix.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking dish or pan to prevent sticking, then press the cookie dough evenly into the dish to create a uniform layer.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid overbaking, looking for a slight golden edge as an indicator of doneness.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Remove from oven and let the sugar cookie cake cool completely. Once cooled, decorate with optional M&M’s or your favorite icing if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overbake as the cookie cake is best when soft and chewy.
  • You can customize the toppings with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any festive decorations.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use a large enough baking dish to allow even thickness; a 9×13 inch pan works well.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
