Instructions
Chocolate Chip Cookie Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the pizza pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
Prepare cookie dough according to the recipe link.
After semi-sweet chocolate chips have been mixed into the cookie dough, add the dough to the pizza pan.
Using your fingers gently spread the dough evenly into all areas of the pan.
Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes. The cookie will look raw in the middle, but continues to bake on the pan.
Remove cookie from the oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
In a stand-up mixer or using a handheld mixer, cream together the dairy free butter and palm oil shortening.
Then add in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
Next gradually add in the powdered sugar. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl often.
Now add in the dairy free milk and mix well. Add more milk if needed for a medium consistency.
Transfer to a piping bag, or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off, and decorate the cooled cookie cake.
The post contains a link to a Wilton You Tube tutorial video for frosting swirls as shown.
Add sprinkles, cut and serve.
Optional to serve with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Notes
