This Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake is such an easy Valentine’s Day dessert! A white and semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie cake meets a funfetti sugar cookie cake and when topped with homemade vanilla buttercream, this dessert is practically perfect.

The best part about this Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake? The fact the center of the cake is rich and gooey and full of melty chocolate chips. Cue all the heart eyes.

In the fifth grade, we learned about balancing checkbooks. My teacher gave each of us a classroom checkbook and we could earn money in various different ways.

At the end of the year, we all brought in items for an auction and we could bid on those items using the money we had earned.

There were a ton of items that were super cool, but the one item I had my eye on was the giant cookie cake with frosting. Shocking, right? 😉

Being that we were a bunch of 10 year olds, that was a hot ticket item and I paid a pretty penny for a store bought cookie cake that I could have made at home with just a few ingredients. It’s safe to say that younger me was a little bit of a sucker.

Luckily, older me is a bit wiser and knows that making a Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake (with frosting) is significantly better when it’s homemade (and when it’s covered in red and pink sprinkles for Valentine’s Day).

Next to coffee, chocolate is my lifeblood.

I’m not picky as to how I get it, but if push came to shove, I’d want it in any type of chocolate chip cookie form.

My top picks?

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake (a double stack of cookies filled with to-die-for espresso whipped cream).
Or these Marshmallow Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars.
And 1000% these Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Bars.
Last, but not least, obviously this Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake. Make it for V-Day or make it for ANY day of the year (I would and probably will). There’s always a reason or excuse to celebrate, and this cookie cake is the perfect celebratory dessert.

Let’s talk about how to make this super easy chocolate chip cookie cake recipe.

First things first, this recipe is incredibly versatile and you can use whatever chips, sprinkles, and other mix ins that you want to.

I used a mix of red and pink sprinkles, semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips for this chocolate chip funfetti cookie cake; however, feel free to mix that up with whatever you have on hand.

Some great other mix-in ideas for this funfetti cookie cake:

nuts (chopped pecans or walnuts would be bomb—is that even still a catch phrase?)
toffee bits
peanut butter chips or milk chocolate chips

Next, the texture of this cookie cake is definitely more like a giant gooey cookie rather than a cake; however, the cookie itself has a bit more flour in it to make it a bit more of a soft cake-like cookie.

Also, the center of this chocolate chip funfetti cookie cake will be a bit gooier than the edges, and once you take the cookie cake out of the oven, the center will sink slightly. This is 100% fine and normal.

If you prefer the center to be a bit more done, you can bake it a little longer. If you do, tent a piece of tin foil over the top to prevent the edges from getting overdone.

Tips & Tricks on how to make this Easy Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake Recipe:

You can use any pan you want to use. You can use a cake pan, a pie plate, a springform pan or even a tart shell pan. Use whatever you have on hand.
I not only greased my pan well, I also put a piece of circular parchment paper in the bottom of the pan. This ensures the cake will remove from the pan easily.
I made my favorite homemade vanilla buttercream frosting for this recipe. Feel free to use a chocolate frosting or skip the frosting altogether if you’re not feeling it.
This can be stored at room temperature.
