How to Make a Giant Cookie Pizza That Breaks All the Rules

Let’s be clear right from the start: there are no rules here. Not in this kitchen. Not on this blog. And definitely not when it comes to dessert.
If you’re craving a chocolate chip cookie the size of your face (or, let’s be honest, the size of your kid’s entire torso), you’re in the right place.
Today we’re talking about making a Giant Cookie Pizza—because small cookies are so last season.

Why Giant Cookie Pizza is the Dessert We All Deserve

Because sometimes, one cookie just isn’t enough. And let’s be honest—when life hands you a giant tub of cookie dough, you make a dessert that says,
‘I’m here to party.’ Giant cookie pizzas are crowd-pleasers. They’re fun to make, easy to decorate, and basically impossible to mess up.
They’re also a total Pinterest win with zero pressure (you’re welcome, overachievers).

What You’ll Need to Bake Your Giant Cookie Pizza

This is the lazy baker’s dream. You can totally use homemade dough if you want to flex, but we’re going full rule-breaker with the store-bought stuff.
Here’s your simple supply list:

A big ol’ tub of cookie dough (Costco, Sam’s, BJ’s—you know the drill)
A 12-inch pizza pan
Store-bought decorating icing tubes
Sprinkles, candy, or whatever makes your inner child squeal
An oven that’s hot and ready (just like this cookie)

Step-by-Step Instructions (Spoiler: It’s Foolproof)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (or whatever your cookie dough says).
Grease your pizza pan like you mean it.
Take a deep breath and press that cookie dough evenly across the pan. Yes, with your hands. You’re basically a sculptor now.
Pop it in the oven and bake until the edges are golden brown and the middle isn’t jiggly—about 15–20 minutes. Keep an eye on it.
Let it cool (if you can wait) before you decorate like a sugar-crazed Picasso.

Decorating Ideas That Are Extra (Because Why Not?)

Go full birthday cake vibes with piped frosting around the edges and a big ‘Congrats’ or ‘You Survived Monday’ in the center.
Let your kids throw sprinkles on like confetti—or let your inner kid go wild. You can even create mini slices with different toppings like M&Ms, crushed Oreos,
or peanut butter drizzle. Basically, it’s art. Edible, messy art.

Themed Giant Cookie Pizzas for Maximum Fun

Need an excuse to make more than one? Didn’t think so. But here are some fun ideas anyway:

Birthday Bash Cookie Pizza – Use icing to write their name and age in the middle.

Movie Night Cookie Pizza – Top with mini marshmallows and crushed pretzels.

Holiday Cookie Pizza – Color-coordinate sprinkles for Christmas, Halloween, or even

National Cookie Day (yes, it’s real).

Kid-Friendly Kitchen Chaos: Let Them Help

This is one of those recipes that turns into a core memory. Let your kids smush the dough, pour on the sprinkles, and ‘help’ with icing.
They’ll love every second—and sure, your kitchen will look like a frosting factory explosion, but it’s worth it.
(That’s what Clorox wipes, cute aprons like this one and wine are for.)

Tips for Baking the Perfect Giant Cookie

Don’t make it too thick—aim for even dough across the pan.

Keep an eye on the center—it bakes slower than the edges.

Let it cool before decorating, or you’ll be swimming in frosting soup.

Cut it like a pizza for the ultimate slice-and-serve dessert moment.

Easy Cleanup and Storage

Once the sugar rush fades and everyone’s in a cookie coma, just cover any leftovers (if there are any) with foil or plastic wrap.
They’ll stay soft for a few days—if they last that long. And cleanup? Just one pan. No cooling racks, no mountains of dirty spoons.
Just vibes.

Level Up: Serve It with Ice Cream

If you really want to go above and beyond, warm a slice and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle on chocolate syrup and prepare
to have your life changed. This is what dessert dreams are made of.
