Want to make your own giant faux cookie?  Here's how easy it is using salt dough and a vintage pan:

Here is the pan that I started with - a large heart shaped cookie sheet that I found at the thrift store for just a couple of dollars.

Using salt dough I filled in the cookie sheet as evenly as possible and let dry.  

You can air dry for a couple of weeks (or so) or you can use your oven at 250 for a few hours to speed things up.  The important thing is to make sure that the dough is as thoroughly dry as possible.  As salt dough dries it shrinks. This will cause it to pull away from the pan and any other embellishments that you add and things can fall apart.  By drying first, if the dough does loosen from the pan, you can simply hot glue the underside back into place.

Using Crayola Air Dry Clay I made my chocolate chips.

Just roll the clay into small lumps and let dry, then hot glue into place on your cookie.

I painted the surface of the cookie in Territorial Beige.

And then painted the chocolate chips using Chocolate Sprinkle.  You could paint your cookie base and chocolate chips separately, then glue together if you wanted.

After the paint was dry, a bit of light weight spackle in an icing bag made an easy fake icing border.
