Prepare the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Next, add the vanilla and almond extracts while mixing in the eggs one at a time.
- Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.Mixing the ingredients well at each stage is key to a smooth, even batter.
Color the Layers
- Divide the batter evenly into five bowls.
- Put food coloring in each bowl in a different color. Mix thoroughly until each is vibrant.
- Spread each colored batter in separate sections of the prepared pan, or use separate small pans if available.Ensure each layer is smooth and even for the best visual effect.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After a few minutes of cooling in the pan, move to a wire rack to finish cooling.Keep a close eye on the oven; overbaking can dull the colors!
Notes
- Storage: Keep the cookie cake in an airtight container to maintain its soft texture.
- Color Choices: Opt for gel food coloring for more intense and vibrant colors.
