Homemade Cookie Cake

I used to do this by opening a tube of store-bought cookie dough and squishing it flat in the shape of a circle. Baking it for 20 minutes then decorating. You can still do it that way.

Now, because it tastes so much better and because of the allergies of our youngest two, I do it the homemade way. A few more steps but worth the effort.

I make a double batch of Flax-Oatmeal Cookie dough. (This recipe minus the coconut and nuts + egg substitute in place of eggs).

With the other half of the dough I make the cookie cake. I just figure while I have it all out I might as well double the recipe. This is a simple habit I wrote about in Back to basics: vacation planning. Doing the work now so that you don’t have to next week 🙂 I get out my pizza pan and spread about a half inch thickness of dough to fill the pan.
