Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

What everyone really needs is the ability to make a giant chocolate chip cookie.

This recipe will make one giant (5.5-7 inch) chocolate chip cookie that will serve two people easily - maybe even three!

When I served these giant cookies at the office I cut them into six pieces each. They're pretty rich!

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon egg, beaten well
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup all purpose flour (scooped and leveled for best results!)
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

You will also need a baking sheet, some parchment paper, and an oven preheated to 350 F.

Yeah, I know. I didn't use the whole egg, but this recipe is perfect and I ain't about to mess with it. You can always make a scramble while the cookie bakes if throwing away excess egg makes you break out in hives. ;)

Recipe from Cooking Classy

Combine everything in a small bowl and mix well with a spoon or spatula. Mix vigorously for about 30 seconds and the dough will ball up. Make sure they're aren't any dry spots and you're good to go!

Add in most of the chocolate chips and mix them through the batter.

Take the cookie dough and shape it into a nice patty on a piece of parchment paper. My cookie was about 3-4 inches wide at this point.

Dot the top and sides with the remaining chocolate chips.

Bake the cookie for 12-14 minutes - I honestly think less time is better with these.

The top cookie baked for 14 minutes because I was washing dishes and couldn't hear the alarm. The bottom cookie was between 12-13 minutes. Much prettier!

(Both were equally delicious - the bottom cookie was just a bit softer!)

BOOM

The lighter cookie was a little over 5 1/2 inches and the darker one ended up closer to 7 inches wide. Pretty impressive.
