Easy Giant Cookie Cake ~ Soft & Chewy!
Watch me make this giant cookie cake from start to finish!!
Cookie pizza, giant cookie cakes, whatever you wanna call them, they are delicious and so FUN to make! Have you ever received or purchased one? They’ll run you about $29.99 for a basic 12-inch. Add decorating and personalization and the price can really add up. Make them yourself and they will look better, taste MUCH better and you’ll be able to make several for the price of purchasing one. Oh, and they are easy!
I use to pass by them in the mall when I was a kid, wishing I could buy one or that someone would give me one. My mother surprised me on the last day of 4th grade with my very own homemade giant chocolate chip cookie cake. It was trimmed in purple and pink frosting and the middle said: “I’m so proud of you!”. I couldn’t believe that this huge cookie was all mine! I was in heaven, honey!
Ahhh that was a good day. I decided to surprise Isaac with his first giant cookie cake yesterday. When I told him it was all for him his face lit up and he said “Whaaaaat!!! All for me? Mommy, I love it!!!!!” Gosh, I love seeing that kid smile!
This giant chocolate chip cookie cake recipe is very similar to the m&m cookie bars but the texture comes out different, fluffier and chewier. My husband took one bite and said: “wow it really is like a cookie and a cake”.
I used all brown sugar in this giant cookie cake recipe to create a really light texture. It’s amazing how that simple little switch changes up the recipe. Cooking is so cool, isn’t it?
Take one of these giant cookie cakes to a party and you will be loved by all, especially the kids. There is just something about eating a big ol slice of cookie in pizza form that kids love. You can get really creative and throw in nuts, candy pieces, etc. and just let your imagination run wild with the decorating. Giant cookie ice cream cake anyone?
Top each slice with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup and baaaaaby, things just got real!!!

I wanted to say thank you for this recipe, it was amazing and now part of my evergrowing list of recipes. I added some almond (initation cause allergies) extract and it was so good. And I paired it with a frosting recipe from another cooking youtuber i know. I made it for a Christmas party at work and they ate it all up lol. In any case thank you so much I’ve used other recipes from you but this was simple and perfect thank you!!
