When I started my spider web log a few years ago, I begged the managers at the FOX59 intelligence station to permit me produce a cooking segment. Eventually, I was annoying plenty that they permit me produce a segment in 1 trial every blueish moon.

But just 1 twelvemonth agone today, I had my start segment amongst early on morn anchors Kristin Kane together with Scott Jones. We all had such dandy chemical scientific discipline together, together with it went actually well. Kristin believed inward me together with my blog, thence “Kylee’s Kitchen” became a weekly segment on FOX59 Morning News.

One twelvemonth later on our start segment together, Kristin announced she was leaving Indianapolis. I was upset because she’s been a skillful friend, neighbor, together with co-worker to me throughout the past times few years, together with she’s given me lots of skillful advice.

I knew I wanted to produce something especial for her on her concluding day, thence I surprised her during the present amongst a cookie cake!

Cookie cakes are wonderful because they’re but large giant cookies, but you lot don’t bring to worry near forming the dough into balls.

I used a 14-inch diameter deep-dish pizza pan for my cookie cake because I needed it to move large plenty to feed all of my co-workers. That existence said, I had to build a double-batch of cookies to fill upwards the pan. You could ever purpose a 9-inch or 10-inch diameter pie pan if you lot wanted a smaller cookie cake, together with and then you lot wouldn’t postulate to build a double batch of cookie dough.

I decorated my cookie cake amongst chocolate frosting on the edges together with and then I used the frosting to write a message. You don’t bring to purpose chocolate frosting though. You could us vanilla frosting or none at all. Or if you lot desire lots of frosting, smother it on the entire surface!

I ever build my frosting amongst Challenge unsalted butter. It’s costless of preservatives together with hormones together with made amongst existent cream. You tin flame actually sense of savour the difference!
