Instructions

Preheat oven to 350, spray cake pan with baking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside. Using a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time until combined after each egg. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour, and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter between the three pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Place cakes on wire rack to cool for 10 mins, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
In a standing mixer, cream the brown sugar, powdered sugar, and softened butter until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Gradually beat in the flour until combined. Slowly beat in the milk until the consistency is what you like. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a standing mixer, beat together all ingredients for vanilla frosting until combined and smooth, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Using a cake leveler, cut the domes off the cake slices.
Place one cake slice onto a 12 inch round cake board.
Scoop out 1 1/2 cup of the chocolate chip frosting onto the cake slice and smooth evenly with an angled spatula.
Place the second cake slice onto the chocolate chip frosting.
Repeat steps with another 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chip frosting.
Place the last cake slice onto the second layer of chocolate chip cookie dough.
Scoop 2 cups of vanilla frosting onto the top of the cake and smooth evenly with the angled spatula.
Frost the sides of the cake.
Scoop remaining frosting into the piping bag. Pipe dollops of frosting onto the top of the cake.
Place a chocolate chip cookie into the frosting dollops.
