Instructions

Prepare the cookie dough layer by mixing butter, sugars, milk, and vanilla until creamy. Gradually add flour and salt, fold in chocolate chips, spread in pans, and bake until golden.
For the vanilla cake batter, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk until smooth.
Bake the vanilla cakes until a toothpick comes out clean and cool completely.
Make the cookie dough buttercream by beating softened butter with powdered sugar, flour, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth; fold in mini chocolate chips.
Assemble by layering cake and cookie dough buttercream, finishing with the top layer of cake.
Create the chocolate ganache by heating cream and whisking it over chopped chocolate until smooth; pour over the assembled cake.
