Simo and Cicci’s Tips
You can store the cookie cake for up to a week at room temperature in a cake dome or an airtight container.
You can also make a cookie cake with Nutella filling. In this case, use a smaller pan of 7-8 inches in diameter and place half of the dough in the pan, filling it with Nutella, preferably frozen, so it remains creamy even after baking. Cover with the remaining dough and bake in the oven as indicated in the recipe.
You can use only chocolate chips or only Smarties or colored eggs.
You can also replace the chocolate chips with coarsely chopped dark or milk chocolate pieces.
You can also add chopped hazelnuts or walnuts to the dough.
