Giant Cookie Cake

After brunch, Michelle and I got our hands dirty and made my very good friend and sister-in-law, Dannin, a giant cookie cake for her 29th birthday!  We all played a part in creating this masterpiece.  Michelle helped with mixing all the ingredients and the hubbie demonstrated his artistic ability by writing on the cake.  It turned out to be delicious!  We had a little bit of extra dough because the recipe called for a 14" pan and I only had a 13" pan, so we made three little cookies on the side... for quality control, of course!

Above is the recipe we used.  The only edits I made were the 13" pan and I omitted the nuts.  The hubster will not allow them in anything!!  Even without them though, it was perfect!

Happy Birthday, Dannin!!  We wish you a wonderful year and pray for God's blessings upon you and your family's lives!  We love you!!  xox
