Craft the lovely Stone Brick block, and perhaps other variants (smelt smelt smelt, or make it mossed)
Locate Stronghold.
Repair it. Every room is as it would be in the Days of Old, when ancient scholars roamed the halls, studying and guarding the gates of the end.
If you really have that much cobble, replace all the cracked and mossed bricks with fixed versions. Make it exactly like the Days of Old! Or, rather, the Days of "Jerry the Janitor is still alive"

In building you can use it as a foundation of a house that you are building. If you also combine it with some other stone types (stone bricks, stone, red bricks, etc) you can get some fairly nice results.
I've also seen some decent buildings with Cobble and wood (in some stable designs that look really good).

"It's not enough you have the will to care. What are you going to do to show it?"
I personally use it for building, large projects, and I also use it for scaffolding(the reason I don't use dirt is because I don't like to harm the natural landscape more that I have to so I only have a couple stacks of dirt. Some projects(like the iron farm in my journal world) used more than a couple stacks(the iron farm used 5 stacks total))
I usally smelt down my spare cobble, for the xp and for the smooth stone, two birds one stone right?
I get what you did there!
I used to have the same issue with my cobble, now not so much. If you keep building stuff using the stone variants in your builds, you'll find yourself running low quickly, just try to build a bunch of stuff on the surface, rather than digging things out and making an underground base, and you'll find yourself needing cobble more often than having too much of it.
If you get into redstone, you'll also find yourself losing quite a bit to redstone. For instance, a repeater or comparator take 3 smooth stone per, which tend to add up. Pistons take 4 cobble, and droppers / dispensers take 7 cobble. After a while those add up, or at least they do for me because I do crazy amounts of redstone projects.
In my current world, I've had since early July, my storage space for cobble has been 2 double chests in my base's attic. I have yet to need any larger storage for cobble yet, as I've been using it quicker than I gather it. My best recommendation would be just to try to make some medium-large scale builds above ground. You'll find yourself using a lot of cobble that way.

Yeah I smelt for the XP then turn the smooth stone into stone bricks.
I also use it for roads... lots of ROADS.
I link up my land with roads on the surface and have tunnels underneath that go to slightly different places, but have stairs up. Stairs use up 6 cobble and that goes fairly quickly when you are building diagonal stairs from level 10 to level 62 or whatever.

This. If I get a lot of cobblestone, I use it to make pathways to all my stuff, house, farm, mine, etc.
Also, like others said, smelt it, maybe make stone bricks and a castle type base. You'll find that with large scale builds eat up quite a lot of blocks
Or you can just make many small builds using cobblestone, it still eats it up either way.
If you aren't the building type, I can't really help you that much, if you have a staircase mine, make stairs, you'll go up and down much faster. Smelting it is an added bonus, but you'll have to make stone brick stairs since smooth stone doesn't have stairs.
Thanks for the responses everyone! So I just decided to smelt most of the cobblestone, planning to make a mob spawner with it as well. The XP comes in handy!
Thanks you just gave me an idea: 100 ways to kill cobblestone. I'll do it using armorstands Plus, ditching it in a hole is a way of torturing cobblestone for only blending with a couple of things and only if used in small quantities.

Haha, 100 ways to kill cobblestone sounds fun! What else have you come up with?

Blazing Inferno or so I call it. Basically it's a blaze that will smelt a 3x3 area It's got a custom recipe and stuff but that's already done xD
I have pretty much knowledge of all minecraft commands so just suggest things I guess

If you can also get loads of wood, expanding a village (or building an artificial one with villagers taken from elsewhere) is a neat project. Villagers sell some useful things (such as glass from librarians or arrows from farmers) and building a big, beautiful city for them is a project that can consume a lot of cobblestone (which you should make into smooth stone and then stone bricks since the vanilla cobblestone texture is really ugly; some texture packs make it look really nice, though, such as Isabella II and Dandelion).

The source of my intention isn't really crime prevention; my intention is prevention of the lie! Yeah, welcome to the Scatman's world!
I suggest using it to build, or better yet, smelting it then using the varied stone types to build with...stone bricks usually go fast...

Why ditch in in a hole when you can ditch it in lava?? (cue another image of my incinerator:)
