1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 14-inch, light colored, round pizza pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars. Add the eggs, beating well after the addition of each.

Fold in the dark and white chips and the nuts.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

This was pretty good. The first time it cooked over and made a giant mess. The second time I looked up some tips. You can use any regular cookie dough recipe to make cookie cake, but this one tasted great even when I messed up cooking it. For a cookie cake you preferably have a pan with sides, or put tin foil or a cookie sheet under it to catch messes. I thought about making a tin foil ridge underneath but forgot to try it. Make a slight indentation in the middle, like making a burger, so it is easier to cook through in the middle. Leave an inch or two of space around the outside of the dough to allow for spreading. Check it early and often. My cousin recommended trying smaller ones in pie pans.

I'm on my post Easter diet. I was thinking about starting with a few guilty indulgences and then working my way back.
