Better than the stores/malls.

Add me to the list of reviewers who had a burnt mess at the bottom of my oven. I thought I'd be OK using a Pampered Chef pizza pan - the recipe says 14 inch and my PC pan is 15. I'm sure the cookie itself tastes great and it's a cute idea, so I'm not writing this recipe off. However, next time, I will definitely take some batter out. Make sure you listen to the other reviewers on this one! Or you will be like me, sitting here with no birthday cake cookie for your husband, and a burnt oven to clean out. :(

I made this for the 4th of July and it was a hit! I used a 16" pan and was glad I did.

OK--given my screen name-I cannot believe I have never made a cookie cake! This was quite enjoyable. I did add in 1 tsp of baking powder as well and I got a little crazy adding in all different flavor chips. YUMMY! Now I am on a roll and made one adding in 3/4 cup peanut butter and milk, white, semi and peanut chips, and mini m&m's.-HOLY GOODNESS! Oh and for a fun treat for a friends b-day I saved enough cookie dough to make a smiley face with and added in a few tbsp of cocoa ..and after spreading the regular dough into the pan..I plopped the chocolate dough into a smiley face figure on top and just patted it down alittle. It was wasy cute.

This turned out great! I made it for my daughter's last day at preschool. I used another reviewers suggestion and put it in a disposable aluminum pizza pan. I had about 1 cup of cookie dough left over, but the rest fit perfectly in the pan. I wouldn't change a thing about it. It looked just like the ones you buy in the stores. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent! Make sure to take out 2 cups of batter or you will definitely have batter spilling over the edges of your pizza stone! I used parchment paper underneath, which worked great.

It worked great for an after school party!! Happy Baking!!

Great. Barely changed a thing in the recipe besides adding 2 tsp of vanilla extract and using 1/2 semisweet and 1/2 milk chocolate chips. Lined the pan with aluminum foil and pam'd it. Cookie was super easy to take off. Followed the cook times as stated. My brother is a HUGE chocolate chip cookie fan and I made this for his birthday. He ate half of the cookie in one sitting, again great recipe!

this really hit the spot! I was just looking for a recipe for choc. chip cookies and came across this one. i used a 16" pizza pan, but I scaled the recipe down to 12 servings(i didnt want it to overflow)and it was plenty enough. I used semi sweet choc chips and white choc chips along with walnut chips and it was wonderful. I followed the suggestion of a user and lined the pan with foil and sprayed with Crisco flour/shortening spray. I put the dough in a ball on the foil and covered with parchment paper and rolled the dough out evenly with a rolling pin abt an inch from the edge of the pan. (You dont want to roll it all the way to the end or it will bake over the edge of the pan). I didnt have any problems at all with it sticking and it came out very nice and chewy- i even took a large biscuit cutter and made a few "sandwiches" with vanilla ice cream in the middle and froze for later-yummy!! thanks for the post :D

Best Chocolate chip cookie I've ever made.

With the recommendations from other reviewers, the giant cookie was a BIG sucess at my nephew's B-Day party! I only used the 2 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp. salt recommended, and a little extra vanilla. Everyone thought the cookie was moist and delicious! They also thought the cookie was made by the Great American Cookies company. I imitated the frosting decoration they use on their giant cookies (see attached photo).

Great recipe! I cook the cookies one at a time in 12" pans for 17 minutes each. Everyone raves!

I wanted something different for our anniversary and this hit the spot. Very easy to work with..easy to cut into heart. This does spread a little but I used margarine instead of butter and that was probably why. I will be making this for other occasions.

I use Allrecipes a lot, but this is the first recipe I've rated. I followed the recipe as written and it was delicious. Be warned, though: I used about a 16" pizza pan and the cookie spread out to the very edges (many others complained about overflow with smaller pans, and I can see why). My husband is picky and will let a batch of cookies rot before eating something he doesn't like. This has disappeared. Great cookie dough, lots of fun! I wrote on it with Luscious Buttercream Frosting, also from this site. I'll be doing this again!!

Excellent giant cookie recipe. Mine did spill in the oven but my fault. I put it on a 12" pizza pan. Next time will use the 14" or 16" to be on the safe side.

I just made two of these giant cookies and they turned out great!!! I didn't add the nuts, and I used a large (16") pizza pan to bake them on. I put parchment paper on the pans before spreading out the dough, and it was so easy to remove the cookies after they were done baking!! I lowered the oven temperature to 325* and baked each cookie for approximately 27 minutes; covering them the last 5 minutes of baking to avoid overbrowning. I did trim the edges of the cooled cookies that were crunchy, and I will decorate them tonight with just a little chocolate buttercream icing! Yummy!!
