Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy in the centers with slightly crisp edges. This is such an easy chocolate chip cookie recipe, and it makes 12 giant cookies!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Toppings:
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- With a hand mixer or standing mixer, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it is light and fluffy (about 1 minute).
- Next, add in the egg. Cream the mixture until the egg is well combined.
- Next, add in the vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all purpose flour. Mix until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Lastly, add in the chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out heaping balls of dough. Place 6 balls of dough on each cookie sheet, spacing them evenly apart. If there is any remaining dough, divide it among the 12 balls of cookie dough, gently adding it to each cookie dough ball.
- Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and the centers are puffed and just set. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool on the baking sheet (they will also deflate slightly—that’s normal).
- Allow to cool about 5 minutes before adding extra chocolate chips and sea salt to the tops of each cookie. Then remove from the baking sheet and allow to finish cooling a wire rack.
- Serve and enjoy.
