Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 2 tubes 30 oz chocolate chip cookie dough
Toppings
- 2 containers 16 oz vanilla frosting
- Halloween sprinkles
- black decorating icing
- 1 plastic spider
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookie evenly.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Press the chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into a 16-inch pan, making sure to spread it uniformly for even baking.
- Bake Cookie: Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 13 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Melt Frosting: Remove the foil covering from the frosting containers and microwave the vanilla frosting in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the frosting is smooth and melty.
- Apply Frosting: Pour the melted frosting over the baked cookie and spread it into an even layer to cover the entire surface.
- Add Sprinkles: Decorate around the edge of the cookie with Halloween-themed sprinkles for a festive look.
- Create Web Design: Using black decorating icing, pipe a spiral web design starting from the center. Then, use a wooden skewer to drag lines outward across the spiral to form web sections.
- Place Spider Decoration: Position a plastic spider in the center of the web decoration as a fun finishing touch.
- Chill Cookie: Place the decorated cookie into the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes up to 1 hour to allow the frosting to cool and set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use a large 16-inch pan or pizza pan to shape the giant cookie evenly.
- Remove any foil completely from frosting containers before microwaving to prevent sparks or melting issues.
- If frosting is too thick to spread easily, add a teaspoon of milk to thin it slightly.
- For a quick chill, place the cookie in the freezer, but check frequently to avoid freezing the frosting.
- Plastic spiders are for decoration only; do not eat.
