Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

My kids love this giant chocolate chip cookie and actually request it for their “birthday cake”. I love that it is so customizable too! I’ve used to celebrate the first day of school, celebrate birthdays, Holidays, and just for a sweet treat that we all need once in a while. You simply change-up the frosting colors for certain events or mix up the sprinkles for the Holidays.

I will even cheat sometime and make this giant chocolate chip cookie when my kids request chocolate chip cookies. It’s much easier to make this than rolling 3 dozen cookie balls and baking 4 different batches.

Simple mix up the dough and then press into a tart pan. I would highly recommend buying a tart pan if you don’t have one. It is worth it to have it, just for this recipe! Promise 🙂

It’s a pan with the pretty crinkle edges and then the bottom comes out so it makes it really easy to serve and cut. I have found that it’s easiest to use a pizza cutter to cut this giant cookie into wedges.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup ( 1 stick + 1/2 stick butter), softened
1/2 packed light brown sugar
1/2 granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 11" tart pan with cooking spray or use the butter wrapper to grease it.
Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk to break up clumps. Set aside.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy and light in color, about 2 minutes.
