Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick baking spray and parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar together on high for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add in the applesauce (or egg if using) and vanilla extract and mix until smooth and combined.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the chocolate chip cookie dough in the prepared pan, top with additional chocolate chips if desired, and bake for 18-23 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out of the center with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan before removing and decorating.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with electric beaters, cream the butter on high speed for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add in the icing sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix on low until combined.
- Add in the food coloring (if using) turn the mixer up to high and allow it to beat for 5 minutes.
- Decorate as you desire. I used a Wilton 1M piping tip to pipe frosting rosettes along the top border edge and topped with sprinkles. Enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
