A Giant Chocolate Cookie Ingredients: • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, softened • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 egg • 1/4 cup chocolate chips • 1/4 cup chocolate chunks Instructions: 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or whisk for this step. 4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined. 5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined (do not overmix). 6. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chunks, saving a few pieces to press on top for a bakery-style look. 7. Shape the Cookie: Form the dough into a large ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it slightly with your hand or a spatula to about 1 inch thick. 8. Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set but slightly soft. (It will firm up as it cools.) 9. Cool: Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. • Serve warm for maximum chocolatey goodness! Enjoy your giant cookie!
