Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I highly recommend you use the best chocolate chip cookie recipe here. This is my own personal recipe for chocolate chip cookies that I always use. It's very easy to follow and turns out amazing cookies.

Techniques

When the cookie dough is prepared, put it in the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wait until the oven is completely preheated before continuing.

Next, prepare a cookie sheet. The larger the cookie sheet, the better. This will make sure it's big enough. To make sure the cookie doesn't stick and that it's easy to move around, cover the pan with a sheet of parchment paper.

Next, plop all the dough onto the pan. Begin pressing it down with your fingers to form a circle. The circle should measure about 12 to 14 inches wide.

Make sure there is at least 2 inches around the cookie so that it has room to spread out.

Press the center down more because the dough will spread and puff up. Make the outer edge thicker. It should look like a pizza crust with a thicker edge. Again, this will help it bake evenly throughout.

Bake the cookie in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. The cookie should be golden brown across the top of the cookie. Don't use a cake tester. Cookies do not bake the same way as a cake or brownies. You'll end up burning the cookie long before the tester comes out clean.

Let the cookie cool on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling. To transfer the cookie, you can use a large spatula, or you can lift the sides of the parchment paper and carry it to the rack.

Leave the cookie as is or decorate it with frosting, candies, etc.

Giant chocolate chip cookies make great birthday cake alternatives and are wonderful for all types of celebrations.
