Ingredients

  • 1 package Pillsbury Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1 package Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1 bag of icing
  • Non-stick spray

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cake pan by spraying it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: Press the Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Sugar Cookie Dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a smooth, uniform layer.
  3. Step 3: Press the Pillsbury Pumpkin Sugar Cookie Dough on top of the sugar cookie layer, creating a second even layer.
  4. Step 4: Bake the layered cookie dough for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. The center will continue to set as it cools.
  5. Step 5: Let the cookie cake cool completely. Then, add a dollop of icing around the edges before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For easier removal, chill the cookie cake for 10 minutes after baking before adding icing and serving.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips between the layers for extra texture.
  • If you prefer, use cream cheese frosting instead of icing for a tangy contrast.

Storage

Store the cookie cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a soft, warm bite before serving.

How to Serve

A round cake on a white plate is decorated with two layers of small cookies on top, each cookie showing a pumpkin design with bright orange and green colors. The cookies form a close pattern covering the whole cake surface. Around the edge of the cake are small dollops of white cream. One slice is cut out and placed on a smaller white plate below the cake, showing a soft, crumbly texture with visible pumpkin cookie pieces and some white cream inside. A silver fork lies near the smaller plate, and a cloth with orange pumpkin prints rests on a white marbled surface beside the dishes. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different size pan?

Yes, a 9-inch or similar-sized round cake pan works best for even baking. Adjust baking time slightly if using a deeper or shallower pan.

Do I have to use both types of cookie dough?

Using both doughs creates the layered flavor and texture that makes this cake special, but you can use just one type if preferred—though the taste will differ.
