• Start by preheating the oven for 350 degrees. Then spray each cake pan with cooking spray. I used 9 inch pans, then place parchment paper inside the pans as well.
• In a stand mixer take your cake mix, eggs, butter, milk, and mix well. Divide the batter into the 3 round cake pans. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the cakes are fully cooked.
• Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
• With a cake leveler you will slice off the tops to remove the dome top on the cakes to make it evne.

Cookie Dough Frosting

• Place raw flour in a container and microwave for 1 minute. This will kill the bacteria in the flour. It needs to reach 160 degrees.
• Next you will take your stand mixer and add your butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and mix until creamy. Add in the vanilla.
• Add in your flour and add the milk slowly. You will want to mix until it reaches your desired thickness.

Blue Oreo Frosting

• In a clean mixer you will cream your butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream, and mix until smooth.
• Add in some crushed Oreos, and blue food coloring.

Chocolate Ganache Directions

• Using a small pot, pour the heavy whipping cream into it and place on
  medium heat.
• Pour the chocolate chips into a medium heat safe bowl
• Once the heavy whipping cream starts to simmer, remove from heat and pour onto the chocolate chips.
• Allow to sit for 1 minute before whisking until smooth
• Pour the chocolate ganache into the squeeze bottle

How to Assemble Cookie Monster Cake

• Using the squeeze bottle and add chocolate ganache drips around the
  edge of the cake.
• Using the mini chocolate chip cookies, place them around the bottom of the cake.
• Next use the blue oreo frosting in the piping bag, pipe dollops along the top of the cake, make sure to leave a space between the dollops.
• Place a regular size oreo in between each frosting dollop
• Place into the fridge for 1 hour to allow the frosting to harden slightly for easier cutting!
