I'll just come right out and say it: this is my favorite recipe on the site so far. And it's not even really a new recipe: I took my recipe for 1 dozen chocolate chip cookies, pressed the dough into my grandmother's 6" pie pan and baked it for 30 minutes. It's perfect as-is, but you could decorate it with chocolate frosting (like those cookie cakes at the mall), or you could top it with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream right when it comes out of the oven.
I wish I could say I sliced it neatly like a pie and ate it on a pretty plate, but we did not. We hovered over the oven and attacked it with 2 forks as soon as the timer went off. The center is perfectly gooey like a soft-baked cookie while the edges set up nicely.
I know you'll enjoy this one. Go on, make it!

So this means I have to make two of them if any one else wants a bite, because this bad boy is all for me! ;)

I love that you dug in with two forks. That's the way to do it! And I would have gone straight for the gooey center...yum!
Stephanie says
I love this idea! I always freeze cookie dough, but sometimes I want just enough for me! Thanks. =)
Ashley says
I don't use shortening. Can I just add more butter?
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I need to get in on the cookie cake thing! And yeah, there would be no slicing of that happening over here either.
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction says
My husband and I would be the same way! No need to waste time cutting it into pieces! :)
