Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 giant cookie
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large 10-inch round baking sheet or cast-iron skillet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer. Beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet or skillet, spreading it out into a large circular shape. Use your hands or a spatula to create an even layer, leaving a slight border around the edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. The edges should look set and slightly crisp, while the center might still look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the giant cookie cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. The cookie will continue to set as it cools.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top while the cookie is still warm for extra decoration.
- Slice and serve warm, or allow to cool completely before cutting into wedges.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: Ensure your butter, egg, and other ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent dough.
- Don't overmix the batter: Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookie tender and soft.
- Use a 10-inch baking sheet or cast-iron skillet for the perfect shape and even baking.
- For extra indulgence, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips to create more depth of flavor.
- Watch the baking time carefully - the cookie should look slightly underbaked in the center, as it will continue to set while cooling.
- Let the cookie cool for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting to ensure it holds its shape.
- For a professional touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
