Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer Cake

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer Cake really is the ultimate in cookie cakes! With three layers and three kinds of cookie, there is something for everyone to love.

Speaking of love, I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day. We aren’t really into doing anything huge these days, seeing as it was our 12th Valentine’s Day together. But the hubs dropped a not-so-subtle hint that it’d be nice if I didn’t wake up and immediately start baking.

So I decided to just not do anything blog related Saturday. I can’t remember the last time I was actually at our house, in town, and I didn’t at least do something. It was very nice, and yet it’s hard for me to totally relax because I think of all the things that need to get done.

One day I’m going to figure out how to totally unplug.

Despite the super cold weather that was predicted, it was beautiful out. The last few weekends, the hubs has been working on the yard while I’ve been inside baking. He had some yard things he wanted to get done and wanted some help with, so I put on my gloves and my jacket and got to work. Happy Valentine’s Day hubs! 🙂
