Patriotic Cookie Cake
This patriotic cookie cake is so easy to make, and so festive for the 4th of July!
It’s loaded with chocolate chips and M&M’s, with a soft and moist cookie base. I added a little bit of buttercream on top (mostly so I could decorate it with some fun sprinkles!) but it’s delicious with or without the frosting.

The cupcakes use the traditional creaming method, so they’re fairly straight forward to make. They use a combination of butter for flavor and oil for moisture. They also use some buttermilk, rather than regular milk, to add a little extra tenderness to them.
