Holiday Cookie Cake Recipe | Cinnamon Cookie

/ Chelsea, The Cottage Vegetable

This is a fun, easy way to change up the traditional holiday cookie baking routine this year.

It’s easy to mix, even easier to bake, and it’s quite a flexible recipe you can add homemade jams, chocolate chips, nuts, berries, or sprinkles on top to make it your own.

The base recipe is a similar to chocolate chip cookies but with a hint of holiday cinnamon.

Here I go into tools you need, ingredients, instructions for this Holiday Cookie Cake Recipe

Holiday Cookie Cake Recipe

Tools you need

  • Stand mixer with paddle, or electric hand mixer
  • Standard 9-inch pie pan (glass works very well)

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon (small pinch) of salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup homemade jam, nuts, chocolate chips, berries, sprinkles, whichever you want to mix in or add to the top. (optional)
  • Nonstick spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
  2. Melt your butter and add to the mixing bowl.
  3. Add brown sugar. Stir until well combined and slightly fluffy.
  4. Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt. Stir until combined.
  5. Beat the egg and add to the mix. Stir until combined.
  6. Add 1 cup of flour. Stir until well combined. Should be the consistency of thick cake batter.
  7. Add optional mix-ins as you wish.
  8. Spray your pie pan.
  9. Dump your batter into the greased pie pan and spread evenly.
  10. You can add toppings as you wish.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes until toothpick comes clean, and crust is golden brown.
  12. Allow to cool. Best served with milk.

That’s It!

There is nothing to help it rise here (no yeast, no baking powder, etc) so it stays more cookie-like versus a normal cake.

You can also bake this in an 8×8 glass baking dish if you want too. I would stick to glass to avoid a burnt bottom.

I give a simple icing recipe here in my Carrot Cake post, that would go nicely with this too.

Enjoy!
