COOKIE CAKE

Cookie Cake image

This oversized cookie cake recipe is so easy and quick that I just might make it instead of traditional cookies from now on. I don't miss portioning out dough or shuffling pans in and out of the oven. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week. -Lisa Kaminski, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
