NOTES : Cookie Tips
You don’t have to decorate your giant cookie only as a clock. For
variety, try decorating it as a jack-o’-lantern, ladybug, face or
anything else you like. Squeezing dough through a garlic press or
potato ricer is very handy for making dough into “hair.”
Make It Your Way
Create Giant Pizza Cookie Slices by pressing all the dough into
the pizza pan or onto the cookie sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut
the dough into 16 wedges. After baking and cooling the pizza
cookie, decorate with frosting and candy. Recut along the lines to
serve the slices.
