How to Make Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1: Cream Butter and Sugars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Shape the Giant Cookies

Divide dough into large portions (about 1/2 cup each).

Roll into balls and place well spaced on a lined baking sheet.

Press down slightly to flatten.

Optional: Press extra chocolate chunks on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 14–18 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.

Do not overbake.

Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring.
