Giant Cookie Recipe

A few years ago my family was at the mall and my oldest son saw his very first giant cookie. Being 5 years old at the time, his mind was completely blown that there was such a thing in the world!  He begged that we buy him one, in which he was totally disappointed that we settled for a regular size one.  Seeing his little sad face pulled on my mom heartstrings but, I have a hard time buying things I know I can make myself a thousand times better at home. I set out to create a giant cookie recipe of my own!

His birthday was just a few weeks away and I wow-ed him by making him his very own giant cookie instead of birthday cake that year.  He’s requested every year since!

Homemade chocolate chip cookies are a staple around my house and I use my go-to recipe for this ‘larger’ version!  I love that I can make something so spectacular with just simple and basic ingredients.

Ingredients for a Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

You can cut it into squares, or triangles.  With my family of boys, we just dig in and break off pieces and enjoy with a large glass of cold milk!

How to make a giant cookie!

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 whole egg + egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cups chocolate chips, milk or semi-sweet

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla. Add egg mixture to sugar mixture. Mix well.
  4. Stir in flour until halfway combined.
  5. Add in chocolate chips and mix until flour has just become combined.
  6. Place all of cookie dough onto a 15″ round stone or pan.
  7. Using your hands, evenly spread out dough into a round disk.  Leave about 2 inches around the edges because your cookie will spread during baking.
  8. Bake your cookie for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown and done in the center.
  9. Let it cool on the pan for about 15 minutes.  Using a spatula, gently slide it between the cookie and the pan to loosen if needed.
