Lion Cookie Cake

Cookie Cake is not a newbie to my blog. It is a frequently requested baked good. Its actually so much easier to make than cookies since you don't have to waste time forming dough balls and patiently waiting while you bake 52 batches. The frosting really takes this over the top. You can have fun with your decorations, but my friends Brittney and Kelly had a jungle themed birthday party and requested a lion.

This was my first time decorating like this, and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Also, do you like my custom cookie cake box? :)

I just stopped by a local pizza parlor and asked for a box- they gave me one for FREE! It may or may not be because I go there very frequently for lunch.

I used the same recipe found here. And in the mini cookie cake sandwiches here. I made a few alterations this time due to the ingredients I had on hand, and actually, word on the street is that this was the best yet!

• Used dark brown sugar instead of light brown
• Used all milk chocolate chips

My next cookie cake design request? A monkey! We'll see if I can pull that one off...
