02 - Whip the butter and sugars together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda, and mix well. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
03 - Spread the cookie dough into the pan and scatter the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until it turns golden around the edges. Cool it down completely.
04 - Mix together the butter, cocoa, milk, and vanilla until silky. Add powdered sugar a little at a time, beating until the frosting is fluffy.
05 - Use a piping bag to create frosting borders around the edge of the cookie cake. Finish it by scattering rainbow sprinkles on top.

# Notes:

01 - It’s best to let your ingredients warm to room temp before starting
02 - You can bake this cake the day before you serve it
