Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie (Single-Serving Recipe)
Description
The Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe balances melted butter and sugars to create a dough that bakes into a cookie with crisp edges and a soft, chewy middle. The inclusion of a small amount of baking soda helps maintain lightness. The dough is shaped into a relatively thick disk to retain moisture and softness during baking at 350°F (180°C) for 15-18 minutes. Using dark chocolate chips adds depth to the flavor profile without overpowering the sweetness.
Preparation includes melting butter before mixing in egg and dry ingredients, ensuring even texture. The recipe clarifies how to measure one tablespoon of egg from a whole egg, which is essential for such a small batch. Once baked, the cookie is best served warm or cooled before storing in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
The recipe yields about 250 grams of dough, making it ideal for an individual serving without leftovers. If brown sugar is unavailable, white sugar can be substituted though flavor may differ slightly.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter 1 oz/30 g
- 3 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp egg whisked
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp baking soda (this is a ½ of a ¼ tsp)
- 4 tbsp chocolate chips (I use dark chocolate)
- (This recipe will yield about 250g of cookie dough, chocolate included)
Notes
- Measure 1 tablespoon of beaten egg by whisking and then scooping the amount needed.
- Using brown sugar contributes to chewiness and flavor, but white sugar can be used if needed.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the cookie center soft and doughy.
- Serve warm or store cooled in an airtight container to maintain texture.
