Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake
This Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake is seriously awesome and addictive! It might even be better than my regular Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, Funfetti Cake Batter Cookie Cake and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Cake. If nothing else, it’s some good competition.
Certainly there’s a cookie cake for everyone here!
But before we get too far into the cookie and can’t turn back, I want to share some exciting news. Today is the 1 year blogiversary for Life, Love and Sugar!
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since my first posts (I posted 3 the first day so that it wouldn’t feel so empty 🙂 ). At the time, I hadn’t really narrowed down what I’d be blogging about. I was just starting to try and get pregnant so I thought I might have a little more of that mixed in but alas there’s no baby yet. And as time went on it became clear that food – mostly sweets with a little bit a savory mixed in – was what I wanted to do. I love all food, especially delicious treats, and it’s what you all seem to want too. What you want, you shall get!
And let’s be honest, you all are what makes this blog what it is. Without you wonderful readers, it’d be nothing.
So I want to send out a HUGE thank you to all of you who read, share, comment and make the recipes I post. Knowing you enjoy the recipes and find them great enough to share with people is what really makes my day and keeps me working to make the next best recipe.
The other super exciting news is that I am moving the blog from wordpress.com to a self hosted blog on wordpress.org. It’s so close to being ready and I can’t wait! That’s part of why I’ve been a little MIA the past week or so – so much to do! Hopefully I can make it official this weekend.
Truthfully it may not look much different to you initially. As time goes on, I’d like to do more. But the initial thing I think you will love and I’m adding just for you is a much better printing ability. I’ve received a number of emails about how the print button now prints the whole post as well as comments, so once I officially make the switch, that won’t be a problem anymore. Yay!!
The only thing is that I may loose some of my wonderful followers. I’m trying to get all my email subscribers transferred over, but those of you who follow via wordpress will no longer see my new posts unless you subscribe via email or another method, such as Bloglovin or Facebook. I just wanted to give you all a heads up! I don’t want you to miss out!
So of course if makes sense that I’d celebrate a blogiversary and an exciting change with a cake! And not just any cake, but a triple chocolate cookie cake. It is FULL of dark chocolate, semi sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate M&Ms. Yum!
And like I said before, so moist, chewy and chocolatey with the perfect texture. I didn’t want to stop eating it. Really.
Plus, I love the pop of color from the M&Ms. So pretty and happy! It might even be as happy as the sprinkle filled Funfetti Cake Batter Cookie Cake. 🙂
So celebrate with me and make a cookie cake!

Made this recipe step by step and it was way under cooked and broke apart when taking it out of the pan. Was making this for a birthday and now I’m scrabbling to make something else.
HI! I tried to make this because it looked amazing — and while the finished product did TASTE amazing, it was somehow so oily that it completely fell apart! It wouldn’t set no matter what I did, and simply touching it was enough to coat my hands in grease. I think I may have had an issue with trying to convert the measurements over to grams.
If you have some free time, I’d be very grateful for your help with this!
I’m going to try a bunch more of your recipes later this week. 🙂
Hmmm, my initial thought was that maybe it didn’t bake long enough. But if you are using grams, that could definitely have something to do with it. I’ll add the metric conversions and see if that helps.
Hi , I just love your website and have also tried the Triple chocolate cookie cake . I followed the recipe as mentioned above . My cake came out pretty good . Only thing , I could feel the sugar granules while eating . Did i do anything wrong or its normal . Or I should have used castor sugar instead of normal sugar .
Hmm, that’s strange. I just use regular granulated sugar. The only thing I can think of is too make sure the butter and sugar are creamed together enough – the butter will get lighter in color as you beat it.
Lindsay I made your Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake and it received “fantastic” reviews. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will be making it often I can tell.
That’s awesome Brenda! I’m so glad everyone liked it! 🙂

Hi,
I just wanna start by saying I love your site! I’ve been baking through quite a few recipes and I finally wanted to make a cookie cake so I came here (we can thank my dark chocolate craving for that).
Anyhow, I followed this recipe to a T. At first I was hesitant to refrigerate but, because I do it with all my cookiedoughs I figured I would follow suit. After refrigerating, my dough came out quite tough and was really hard to evenly spread through the cakepan. It came out like most of cookie doughs do after refrigerating, which all bake fine but, making balls are much easier than spreading into a pan. I found myselfhaving to really knead and press the dough into the pan for it to lay evenly. What did I do wrong? Should I have put the dough into the cake pan first, and then refrigerated overnight?
Thanks!
Well first, I’m so glad you enjoy the site and recipes!
It doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong. The dough will be quite firm when it comes out of the fridge. If it’s hard to work with, let it sit out for about 15 minutes or so and it should soften and be easier to work with. I know some people have said they put the dough in the pan and then refrigerate it, so that would work too.

Hi!
I REALLY would like this recipe….but it’s not showing for me. Is there anyway you can help me out? I have a fish fry benefit I’d like to make it for……
Peace!

You should be able to see it now. I’m sorry about that, not sure what happened, but it’s fixed.
This sounds like heaven!! I’m wondering how imperitave it is to refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours when in a time crunch? Will it still turn out if not? Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Hi Jenna! Yes, it will still turnout just fine. I like to refrigerate it because I think the flavors and ingredients come together nicely, but it will still be great if you don’t.
I made this for my mom’s birthday and it was delicious! They were skeptical at first, but we all loved it, nice break from the traditional chocolate cake. It is so rich and fudgey- like a brownie! Will definitely be trying some of your other cookie cake recipies.
Awesome! Thanks Olivia! I’m so glad you all liked it! 🙂
