Something like this? (scroll down the post to get the cake pics) http://blog.tinyprints.com/inspiration-2/trends-ideas/adorable-milk-cookies-party-featuring-tiny-prints/

Should be fairly simple. If you don't want to use fondant, just ice a round cake with tan/light brown buttercream and put chocolate chips/chocolate candy wafers/chocolate chunks all over it like a cookie :)  You can round the edges of the cake a little so it looks more like a cookie.

ok awesome thanks for taking the time to help me:)

Here's a really cool video tutorial, but it's sped up:
