Giant Cookie
Description
This Giant Cookie recipe uses a standard cookie dough base composed of sugars, butter, egg, vanilla, flour, and chocolate chips. The sugars and butter create a rich and slightly chewy texture with a balance of sweetness from both granulated and brown sugars. The dough is pressed into a thick circular shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet so it bakes evenly and holds its shape.
Baking around 13-16 minutes allows the cookie to set at the edges with a gentle crackly surface, while the interior remains tender but fully cooked. Additional chocolate chips can be sprinkled on top before baking for extra chocolate bites and an enhanced appearance.
This cookie is suited to serving sliced into wedges or squares, perfect for group settings or when a single large cookie is desired over multiple small ones. Cooling the cookie on the pan lets it firm, enabling easy removal without breaking.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled slightly, salted
- 1 egg large
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour (add an extra 1/4 cup for a thicker cookie)
- ½ cup chocolate chips plus more to sprinkle on top, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet (12-inches by 17-inches or so) with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease with cooking spray (can also use a silicone baking liner; no need to grease).
- In a medium bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter, egg and vanilla and mix until thick and well-combined. Add the flour and chocolate chips and mix until no dry streaks remain.
- Press the cookie dough onto the center of the prepared pan into an evenly thick 9-inch circle. When it bakes, it spreads to about 11-12 inches (the cookie will fit perfectly onto a 12-inch round cardboard circle you can find at most craft stores).
- If desired, top the cookie with additional chocolate chips or M&Ms. Bake for 13-16 minutes until the cookie is set around the edges and slightly crackly on top. Let the cookie cool completely on the baking pan – this helps the cookie set up so it can be easily lifted off the pan. Once cool, gently use the foil or parchment to lift the cookie off the pan; slide a thin spatula underneath to transfer. Cut into slices and serve!
