father's day chocolate chip cookie cake

Just in time for Father's Day!  Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies?! I know they are my husbands favorite!! I had to test out my new oven so I baked some jumbo chocolate chip cookies and decided to stack them into a little cake. Layered it with vanilla frosting and topped it with a little mound of chocolate chips. The best part is you can make as many layers as you want. This was the perfect size for us!
