Giant Jaffa Cookie Cake

Because sometimes a girl can’t decide . . . cake or cookie??!!

Why should we have to choose?

Fear not dear friend I have the answer . . . or should I say I have the soloution.

Hallelujah!!!!!

This cookie cake is the perfect combination of well . . . cookie meets cake.

Delicate and light with a slight crumble, add a good scoop of your favourite ice cream . . . heaven!

Seriously, I die.

and your welcome 😉

I love, love, love brown sugar! It adds such a subtle sweet caramel flavour. Then theres the Jaffa’s . . . they give a hint of chocolate orange . . . kind of reminds me a little of old fashion madeira cake.

Total old school comfort flavours.

That’s just how I roll yo.

So before I get all ghetto gangster on you . . . go make this cookie cake and eat a big ol’ slice.

You know you want to 🙂

peace xo
