12-Inch Cookie
A gooey, chocolate chip-studded cookie baked in a giant 12-inch pizza pan, perfect for sharing and satisfying sweet cravings with a moist, cake-like texture and rich flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the yellow cake mix, oil, eggs, and chocolate chips until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 12 to 14-inch pizza pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free option. If you want to reduce the sweetness, use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. For added texture, mix in chopped nuts or use dark chocolate chips, which pair beautifully with the sweetness of the cake mix.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the cookie into wedges and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. It also pairs well with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence. For a unique twist, serve alongside a slice of Corn Spoon Bread Pudding or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cookie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want it to last longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavored cake mixes such as chocolate or vanilla for a unique twist. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the cookie will change accordingly, so adjust your add-ins like chocolate chips to complement the new flavor.
What if I don't have a pizza pan?
If you don't have a pizza pan, you can use a regular baking sheet or a round cake pan. Just make sure to adjust the baking time as necessary; a thinner layer on a baking sheet may bake faster than a thicker layer in a cake pan.
Can I make this cookie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before pouring it into the pan and baking to ensure even cooking.
