Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie (Single-Serving Recipe)
Description
The Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe begins by melting butter and mixing it with sugar, salt, egg, and vanilla to create a smooth base. Flour and baking soda are incorporated carefully to maintain a soft dough texture. Dark chocolate chips are folded in for bursts of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate throughout the cookie.
The dough is shaped into a 3-inch tall disk on parchment paper and baked at 350°F, allowing the cookie to spread slightly while maintaining a moist interior. This technique yields a large cookie with edges that may crisp slightly while the middle remains chewy and rich.
Perfect for an individual dessert or snack, this recipe avoids the need to prepare multiple cookies and is ideal when a single serving is desired. The recipe provides measurements to ensure accurate portion size and cautions about proper mixing to prevent overworking the dough.
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)
Notes
- Measure 1 tablespoon of beaten egg for accuracy by whisking whole egg and measuring volume.
- If unavailable, white sugar can substitute for brown sugar with slight texture and flavor changes.
