I have a customer wanting a 10 inch chocolate chip cookie decorated instead of a cake. Any tips since I have never done one before? I planned on making the cookei dough, putting it in my 10 inch pan then putting the icing decorations on it as I would a cake. She doesn't want the entire cake covered in icing, just a few decorations.

Would you have to use a spring form pan or just a regualr round cake pan lined with parchment. My biggest worry would be getting that cookie out of the pan.

I cook mine on my Pampered Chef pizza stone-with or without parchment. It's easier to slide off and cool if you use parchment paper. I would not want to try to get a cookie out of the cake pan...but that's just me. These are very simple to do-just make an EXTRA large cookie instead of a normal sized one. I pat my dough down a little-until it's about 1" thick. If I were making a 10", I would have about a 6" diameter of cookie dough.
Sometimes I wish my hubby were a cookie. Then when he ticked me off I could just bite off his head.

I have started making these alot, they are fun and delicious! You can definitely use your 10" pan with parchment on the bottom, just be sure to leave at least a one inch gap between your dough and the side of the pan where it can spread. Otherwise you'll get a really big hard edge like a pizza crust. Another idea to make it look very tidy and nice is to bake it in a 12" pan, then after you turn it out, put the 10" pan on top and cut around it so you have a flat and uniform edge.

Great tips!
My niece was just telling me this weekend that she wanted one of these for her birthday. I will let her know that Aunt Chrissy knows how to make these now.
I love the idea about making the edges nice and clean. You know...I sort of think a large cookie would look cute on top of a round cake.
What do you guys think?

You can definitely do that. But do you mean right on top of the cake, or on a pedestal like a tiered cake? If you put it right on top it makes it a little harder to cut, but it can be done!!

For larger cookies, the best advice I have is NOT to overbake... if anything, take it out a little early. If it's even remotely crispy like a regular cookie, it'll be a nightmare to cut. I'm with Melvira on cutting - what I usually do is bake in a larger springform than I'm gonig to need, and while it's still warm, smoosh the smaller springform pan (buttered!) into the cookie like a cutter, pull away the extra cookie (can usually find a use for same...), and wait for it to cool before removing the second pan.

Yes, I mean to put it right on top. But...your right it would be hard to cut!! Wasn't thinking of that one...just thinking of how nice it might look 

It would also be really good on top of a New York Style Cheesecake!!
Need to figure out how to make cutting the cookie easy????

I have made several of these. My recipe is a pretty large one so I put parchment paper on a 16 inch pizza pan bake it and when it cools cut out the size of cookie I want. That way you cut off any edges that gets to brown. The parchment paper makes it easy to remove from the pan. I also have one of those very large spatulas that I slip under the cookie to move it to a cake board or what ever you are wanting to put the cookie on before decorating it.
