Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 9×12 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Almond extract
  • Assorted colors Food coloring
  • 1/2 cup Seedless raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup Apricot preserves
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the salt, baking powder, and flour to a bowl.
  • 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.
