Well, I tried the stacked cookie cake, and it worked! Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to give it a go, here are some pics!

Oh My it looks SOOOooo yummy!!

Wow!!!!!!!!! Tell us how you did it!!!

This is wonderful!!
My husband doesn't care for cake but loves his cookies.
Did you bake cake sized cookies and then stack them with icing between ''layers'' as you would cake?

Oh my gosh!!! You have got to share your recipes and how you did this! I am starving right now and that looks soooo delicious! What a great alternative to offer!

What was the gist of your cookie recipe, like all butter or shortening, etc? I'm wondering what you did to ensure they stayed soft enough to cut. Maybe just being encased in icing was enough? I think I'm going to try this for my birthday in a few weeks. Thanks for the idea!

Oh my gosh! That is likes sooooooo fabulous I want the recipe too please!!!!!

That is fabulous!!! Please share . . . we all want to make "cookie cakes" this weekend!!!

Yummy!!!

I like the sound of this "cake", and it looks really good. I would also like to know just what you did.

My mouth is watering! Looks incredible! Thanks for sharing.

It looks like she just made the big cookies, instead of their own special pan or a pie pan, maybe she put them in an actual cake pan and baked them. I've made "cookie pies" in cake pans before.

That looks like it would be really good!!! I have relatives that don't like cake but they sure eat cookies; so this would just be a wonderful alternative...

Looks incredibly yummy.... Are these cake sized cookies? Doesn't look like an individual serving from the photos. Great Job!

Thanks for the great feedback! I wrote up how I made it here:
