Gluten Free/Vegan chocolate chip cookie cake

I found this nice recipe on the Pure2raw blog. Messed with it a bit and came up with a cute yummy cookie cake. Here is a link to their original post they have an icing recipe as well. I like to make my own so I didn’t try it. http://www.pure2raw.com/2012/01/chocolate-chip-cookie-cake-recipe/
