Vibrant blue velvet cake layers paired with creamy buttercream and mini chocolate chip cookies in a fun jar format.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 box Blue Velvet Cake Mix (or white cake mix with blue food coloring)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Blue gel food coloring
2 cups mini chocolate chip cookies
16 candy eyes
1/2 cup chocolate chip cookie halves (for the 'mouth')

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the blue velvet cake according to the package instructions using the eggs, oil, and water.
Step 2: Once the cake is baked and completely cooled, crumble it into small bite-sized pieces in a large bowl.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and blue food coloring, beating until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Place a handful of cake crumbles into the bottom of each glass jar to create the first layer.
Step 5: Pipe or spoon a layer of blue frosting over the cake, followed by a sprinkle of mini chocolate chip cookies.
Step 6: Repeat the layers of cake, frosting, and cookies until the jar is filled to the top.
Step 7: Finish each jar with a final swirl of frosting, two candy eyes, and a cookie half to resemble the Cookie Monster.

Notes

Store the jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
