How to Make The Best Dessert Pancakes
Alright, whip up your pan “cake” batter!
Eggs!
Mini Chocolate Chips.
Add those cuties to the mixer!
Swooosh!
Ok, we’re ready to cook the batter just like you would a pancake!
See how fun?
Stack em’ all up and get ready for that cookie dough crumble.
This is similar to my cookie dough frosting with just a couple minor changes. It’s incredible!
Place a few tablespoons of cookie dough over your stack of pan “cakes” and bake at 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes to warm up!
Pour a little drizzle of maple syrup on top and dig in!

I know you say not for breakfast, but I’m making this for my boyfriend’s birthday breakfast. Because why not! His favorite ice cream is cookie dough with extra cookie dough so I figured it’ll make his day. 🙂
Giggity giggity. These are some mouth-watering, finger-licking cakes. I did a double take before realizing these were for real. And what a treat for breakfast. Winner winner…nothing rhymes with that for breakfast.
