Giant chocolate chip cookie on white platter with slice cut.

Giant Cookie

Yield: 12 Slices (1 giant cookie)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 16 minutes
Total Time: 26 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (106 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (106 g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) salted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (213 g) flour, (add an extra 1/4 cup for a thicker cookie)
  • ½ cup (85 g) 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!
