Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
The Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe involves creaming nearly melted butter with sugars and vanilla, then adding an egg for binding. The dry ingredients—flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt—are incorporated slowly to avoid overmixing, then chocolate chunks are folded in. Dough is portioned into large balls to create a substantial single cookie suitable for sharing or as a large treat.
Texture can be adjusted by the type of flour used; bread flour creates a chewier cookie with crisp edges, whereas all-purpose flour yields a softer cookie. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the cookie to bake through without burning edges. The dough may be sticky initially, requiring gradual additional flour to ease shaping into balls.
The sizeable cookie works well as a shareable dessert or dessert portion control by size. It pairs well with milk or coffee and requires careful handling when removing from the baking surface given its size.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with a silpat liner.
- Cut the butter into 1 tablespoon sized pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds. You don’t want the butter to be completely melted, but you want it almost melted. (Refer to the video if you need a visual of how the butter should look.)
- Place the butter and both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer. (You can also use a large bowl and a hand mixer, if desired.). Beat until very well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the egg and beat just until combined.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Slowly beat until all the ingredients are combined. *If the dough is still sticky, start adding more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and will easily form a ball.
- Add in the chocolate chunks and mix to combine.
- Divide the dough into 5 balls - each should be about 1/2 cup. Make the balls a little taller than they are around, and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are browned, about 15 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes then serve, if you are wanting the cookies warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a chewier cookie with crisp edges; all-purpose flour results in a softer cookie.
- Gradually add more flour if the dough is sticky to form workable balls.
- Nutrition estimates vary by brand and should be used only as general guidelines.
