Recipe Notes:
- The best pan for this Giant Cookie Cake is one that is at least ½ inch deep. This will provide a suitable depth of cookie per slice, replicating a pizza slice and giving that soft and chewy interior with a crisp outer layer.
- Your giant cookie will expand while baking which is why you should leave ½’ spacing around the edges of the pizza pan.
- Feel free to customize this Cookie Cake with your own selection of toppings. I’ve chosen to add a delicious cream cheese frosting but you could add a chocolate drizzle, keep it plain and serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, or incorporate your favorite chocolate candy into the cookie dough such as M&Ms.
HOW SHOULD I STORE THIS GIANT COOKIE CAKE?
1. Store any leftover cookie cake slices in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when placed in an airtight container. You can also make your giant cookie pizza ahead of time and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap in the pizza pan, leaving any cream cheese topping just prior to serving.
2. Baked Giant Cookie Cake can also be stored in the freezer for 3 -4 weeks when stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the pizza pan. Defrost at room temperature and add it to the oven to heat it if you prefer it served warm.
3. In both instances above, it’s important to first allow the baked giant cookie cake to completely cool prior to any storing as remaining heat will cause condensation which could result in your cookie cake becoming soggy.
