Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the cookie dough layer by mixing butter, sugars, milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
For the vanilla cake batter, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients separately before combining with wet ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips.
Pour the batter over the cooled cookie dough layer and bake for 25 minutes. Cool completely.
Make cookie dough buttercream by beating softened butter and gradually adding powdered sugar, flour, brown sugar, milk, vanilla, salt, and mini chocolate chips.
Assemble the cake by layering it with frosting in between.
