Pillow Cookies.

This is a huge cookie. The paperclip for scale. It is also a huge paperclip.

Saw the picture and a name and googled it. The recipe I found used box brownies and a from-scratch cookie recipe. I don't own box mixes of sweets (except pudding) so I made both from scratch. I used my standard chocolate chip cookie recipe, which, compared to the one given, uses more sugar to flour (2:3) versus their .6:1. The difference, I think, is that their ratio will yield a lighter, fluffier cookie which would be better suited here. Also, chilling the dough is a must. A slightly larger pan (I used an 8x8) would have given slightly thinner brownies.

Mine looks like a flying saucer.
