Princess cookie cake

Lucy wanted to share a cookie cake with her preschool class this year for her birthday celebration.

Since this was the year of princesses for her we went with that theme to decorate it. She loved all the pink and the bling on the crown.

Here's the recipe:
 • 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour maybe less
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (I used a mixture of butterscotch, white, and milk chocolate)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
1. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.
2. Gradually add flour, salt, and baking soda, beating until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
3. Spread in greased 16 inch round pizza pan. Leave 1 ½ inch border to allow for spreading. Bake at 350 degrees maybe a little less for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool cookie in pan on a cooling rack. Decorate as desired.

*I had my husband draw a crown on paper then I traced it onto the cookie with frosting. I didn't trust myself to freehand it. I used silver bead sprinkles and M&M's for the accents. 

This is Lucy at school. Her teacher has them blow out the candles on the pretend cake so they don't get spit on the real one. Smart lady!
