To bake giant chocolate cookies, you will need all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips or chunks.
To make the cookie dough, start by creaming together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

After preparing the dough, use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to portion out the dough into large balls.

You can also gently press down on the dough balls to slightly flatten them before baking.
How long should I bake giant chocolate cookies for?
Preheat your oven to the specified temperature in the recipe and bake the giant chocolate cookies for around 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. It’s important not to overbake them to ensure a chewy texture.

Absolutely! You can customize your giant chocolate cookies by adding in extra toppings or mix-ins such as chopped nuts, caramel pieces, marshmallows, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. Get creative and have fun experimenting with different flavors and textures.
How should I store the baked giant chocolate cookies?
Once the giant chocolate cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
