How to cook deliciously - Captain America Cookie Cake
1. Stage
Make cookie: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
2. Stage
In another large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Stage
Place dough on baking sheet and form into a large circle, about 12 inches wide. Bake until almost set in the middle, 30 minutes (it will continue to set as it cools, so don’t overbake it!). Let cool completely.
4. Stage
Meanwhile, make buttercream: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter until smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula, add powdered sugar, and beat until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, and heavy cream and beat until well combined.
5. Stage
Divide frosting into three medium bowls (you’ll need about half for the red; a quarter each for blue and white). Dye one bowl red, one bowl blue, and keep the third white.
6. Stage
Pipe buttercream: Transfer white frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small open star tip. Using a star cookie cutter as a guide, pipe dots to form a star in the middle of the cookie cake.
7. Stage
Transfer blue frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small open star tip. Pipe dots to form a circle around the star, filling in the triangles of the star as well.
8. Stage
Transfer red frosting to a piping bag fitted with a medium open star tip. Pipe small dots to form 2 red frosting circles around the blue, then pipe 2 circles of white around the red. Finish with 3 circles of red around the white.
