Great Recipe! I brought it over to a birthday party last weekend! I used a mini bag of M&Ms along with some mini Rolos as well… mmmm caramel!
Any chance you also have the recipe for the frosting/icing they use on the mall cookie cakes? Both my boys would enjoy this for the birthday cakes, but they also love the frosting.
Hi Barb,
I’m sorry to say I don’t have that exact recipe. Here’s one you might try.
1 stick salted butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening OR another stick of butter (shortening makes the frosting stiffer and helps it hold up better)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 to 5 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/4 cup whole milk (1 to 4 tablespoons)
Beat the butter and shortening on high speed until creamy. Beat in the salt and vanilla, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until frosting is the consistency you like.
I can’t find a pizza pan that doesn’t have holes in it. Would the recipe work fine on a baking sheet?
I made this today and it turned out perfectly!… I used one of those big aluminium trays you buy in the BBQ section t the super market… It’s huge
Cool! Glad it worked.
My neighbors are very lucky I’m home alone and bored tonight coz iv just made them a cookie cake and it’s in the oven now… (I really just needed to use all the M&Ms before I ate them all).
Great and easy recipe. Made it tonight for v day. My fiancé lovvvves big cookies!
Thanks for the review, Lisa! Glad it was a success.
It works better when you have the right pan. For I did not have one and I used a cast iron skillet and ended thick
Excellent chocolate chip cookie recipe! My kids say it’s the best ever!
Is this a soft and chewy cookie cake?
