Looking for Simple Cookie Cake Recipe-hurry

I've always used the recipe on the bag of Toll House Chocolate Chip morsels. At the bottom of the recipe it explains how to make the chocolate chip cookies into bars, only I usually bake it about five minutes less than the recipe says because it gets so hard around the edges if I bake it longer. Just made them for my husband for his birthday this past week, they turned out great. And here is my grandma's recipe for whipped icing. She uses it to make cream filled cupcakes. It is great squeezed into chocolate cupcakes, but works good as cake icing too. Hope this helps!

5 Tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
Cook this mixture over low heat until very thick, stirring constantly. Let this mixture cool, then add:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup shortening (like Crisco)
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat with mixer until smooth.
Add any color food coloring for different colored icings.

I like to add a box of pudding mix, extra milk (1/2C), and an extra egg to cookie recipes. I usually go by the package recipe, then do my add-ins, and I get very yummy cookies. I almost always make bar cookies this way, and they are nice and thick and chewy, not dry.
You can also add pudding mix to a container of cool whip to get flavored whipped cream, which makes a nice frosting. Just sprinkle it in until you get the consistency you want. (It won't take a full box.)

Roxana-

Here is a recipe I found that looks quick and easy for Frosted Cake Brownies.
1 pkg fudge brownie mix (13 x 9" pan size)
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1 cup milk choc chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup milk chocolate frosting

prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Four in sour cream, choc chips and walnuts into batter. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Frost. Cut into bars.

Roxana, this is obviously not what you asked for but have you tried going to Tasteofhome.com on the Internet? I go there all the time and all you have to do is type in either a few ingredients or the name of what you want, like choc chip bars or sugar cookie bars and you will be surprised at how many recipes come up and how quick and easy they are. I love this particular web site because it is a very practical and budget friendly site and most recipes on there are quick to make. You could also type in homemade whipped topping and see what came up. They have two categories for recipes, the tasteofhome category or the community category. I generally stick to the tasteofhome recipes because there are fewer there and easy to read through and also because I feel if they post them as their own, they have already been tried and successful. Good luck!

I use the bar recipe on the back of Nestle Choc. chips for a cookie cake. It comes out just perfect for that. I usually ice and decorate the top too. Just an FYI, you can purchase small containers of your local store's bakery icing if you ask. I do that when I am in a crunch.;-)

I've used the Toll House premade cookie dough and just squished it in the pan. It came out pretty good. But I had better luck using the Toll House Cookie Recipe on the back of the choc. chips. I doubled the recipe to give more of a thicker cookie. Just pat it down in your pan.

I would use Butter Cream frosting recipe. Simple to make:

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups Confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Preparation
Place butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend with electric mixer on low speed until fluffy, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract. Blend on low speed until sugar is incorporated, 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, 1 minute more. Add up to 1 tablespoon more milk if frosting seems too stiff.
