Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake for a soft texture.
Allow the cookie cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
Decorate with sprinkles and frosting as desired before serving.

Notes

For a festive touch, mix sprinkles directly into the dough before baking.
Customize the frosting with food coloring to match your theme or celebration.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
