There are six scoops of ice cream as well as a giant cookie underneath in this crazy show, $12.

I'm not saying it's spectacular. All I'm saying is that it's a giant cookie on top of a mountain. Here are the facts, and you can decide for yourself (along with five other people) ... 

Where is it ...

The Cookie Cabin at Mount Lemmon, 12781 N. Sabino Canyon Park in Summerhaven

Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, pizza oven closes at 4:30 p.m.

What's in it ...

  • A six-inch white chocolate macadamia nut cookie (or any variety of your choosing: chocolate chip, brownie, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter or The Rachel with oats, coconut and butterscotch).

  • Six scoops of Wholesome Farms vanilla ice cream 
  • Strawberry syrup**

  • Caramel sauce

  • Chocolate sauce

  • a quarter of a can of whipped cream

  • sprinkles

**Because of the strawberry syrup, the shop now calls this decked-out cookie a "Mafia Hit." 

Why you wanna eat it ...

The warmed cookie dough is made by hand using a secret family recipe. With all of the toppings, the thing is big enough for six people. (That's pretty good for only $12.) But assistant manager Hillary Ingalls says she's seen hungry cyclists who have just biked up the mountain take down the cookies all by themselves.

"It's insanity," she says. Don't say I didn't warn you.
