Before we get into the magic of these Dark Chocolate Cookie Layer Cakes, can we discuss how this whole What\u2019s Gaby Cooking thing got started?<\/h2>\n

\"Dark<\/p>\n

I\u2019m frequently asked how I got into this line of work and when I really take the time to think about it, the answer is simple. I love feeding people. It\u2019s the reason I used to cook for my tennis team in college. It\u2019s the reason I have Sunday night dinner parties with my friends here in LA. It\u2019s the reason I worked as a private chef for a number of years. And it\u2019s certainly the reason I started the blog. I truly think the act of cooking or baking for someone is the best way to show someone you care. The second question I get asked is, what the heck do you do with all the food coming out of your kitchen?? That answer is more simple\u2026 I\u2019m all about spreading the love. My UPS driver frequently gets batches of cookies, Thomas takes food into work for his co-workers and my trainers at the gym get goodies on a weekly basis. It\u2019s all about spreading the love.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dark<\/p>\n

When Nestl\u00e9 asked me to be a part of their #BakeSomeGood campaign, it was a no brainer. First \u2013 Nestl<\/span>\u00e9<\/span> is stocked in my pantry at all times. Dark Chocolate Morsels, Nestl\u00e9 Toll House Premier White Morsels, you name it\u2026 it has a place in the What\u2019s Gaby Cooking pantry. Second – the whole campaign is about baking an extra dozen of whatever you\u2019re making and spreading the love. I mean, could those 2 things be more on brand\u2026 I think not!! Game on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dark<\/p>\n

OKAY – now let\u2019s get to these Dark Chocolate Cookie Cakes. This base cookie recipe should be your go to for just about everything in life ever. I used Dark Chocolate Morsels but you could easily use the Nestl<\/span>\u00e9<\/span> Toll House Premier White Morsels if that\u2019s more your style. Or\u2026 get crazy and use both. And because we\u2019re feeling fancy today, I turned these into a cookie cake that you can eat with a knife and fork because hello! There\u2019s a dollop of cream cheese frosting holding all the layers together and a Dark Chocolate Morsel on top just good measure. Make them immediately, you\u2019ll thank me later.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dark<\/p>\n

So next time you\u2019re baking up a storm of anything (but I encourage you to make this exact recipe because it\u2019s a game changer), make a double batch and #BakeSomeGood and share it with someone just to say thank you!! Then post a pic on social and share it with me and use the hashtag so we can all vicariously eat delicious baked goods online!<\/span><\/p>\n
