From RecipeSource by Syd Bigger. My one concern was getting the cookie out of the pan intact and was groundless. Since I only wanted one I divided the recipe in half successfully. Watch the baking time closely.

Tips:

For a crispier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
If you don't have a pizza pan, you can use a regular baking sheet. Just make sure to grease it well so the cookies don't stick.
Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They should be golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them.
To make ahead, bake the cookies according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Then, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
