Ingredients:
Cookie Cake:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp heavy cream
Orange and brown food coloring
Instructions:
Cookie Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pecans.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cookie cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Divide the frosting into two bowls, and add orange food coloring to one and brown food coloring to the other.
Once the cookie cake is completely cooled, spread the orange frosting on top, leaving a small border around the edge.
Using a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner cut off, pipe the brown frosting in a spiral pattern on top of the orange frosting.
Using a toothpick, gently pull the frosting from the center of the spiral to the edge to create a feathered effect.
Refrigerate the cookie cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.

Candy corn: Arrange candy corn around the edge of the cookie cake to represent corn kernels.
