Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake

My brother's birthday was August 8th. We celebrated a few days early while my parent's were still in town because they were about to leave to go visit my sister in Virginia. She was supposed to have her baby any day! Her actual due date was on my brother's birthday, but unfortunately for her she was 8 days OVER DUE when that little bundle of joy decided to make his debut.

ANYWAY...While my parent's were gone I still wanted to celebrate my brother's birthday on his ACTUAL birth day. So we went to dinner with my grandma and Aunt who was in town for a couple of weeks.





Then afterwards we celebrated with this amazing cookie cake. It was quick and easy (which is a PLUS PLUS in my book) and it tasted even better! To simply sum it up, it was DA BOMB.
