A festive and easy-to-make cookie cake with a soft, chewy center and slightly crisp edges, perfect for patriotic celebrations like the Fourth of July.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) rainbow patriotic sprinkles (red, white, and blue mix preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9-inch round pan and line it with parchment paper if using.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the patriotic sprinkles, being careful not to over-stir.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes (optional but recommended).
  8. Transfer the chilled dough into your prepared pan and press it evenly into the bottom, smoothing the surface.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is still slightly soft when gently pressed.
  10. Let the cookie cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper or invert onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Chilling the dough before baking improves texture and flavor. Use cornstarch to achieve a soft, chewy center. Watch the oven closely around 25 minutes to avoid overbaking. Use room temperature eggs and butter for better mixing and texture. Be gentle folding in sprinkles to prevent color bleeding.
