Big Ass Chocolate Chip Cookie

This big ass cookie is filled with chocolate chips and the perfect size to share with someone, or really, you could just eat the big ass cookie yourself!  

Hello there! Would you like a big ass chocolate chip cookie? Not a cookie with a big ass. And not a cookie that will give you a big ass (though that could definitely be a side effect), but a cookie that is, in and of itself, big ass. Am I saying ass too much? I don’t really care. I feel feisty today!

Since moving to Philadelphia we don’t have as many people to share my baked goods with. I take them to work with me sometimes but it just feels weird getting on the subway with a cookie carrier filled with cookies. I feel like everyone is staring at them.

And I feel guilty not offering one to pretty much everyone. It is so incredibly awkward. But my husband says I feel awkward way more than necessary. Life is just full of awkwardness. And probably too much of my energy is spent trying to avoid it.

I’ve seen recipes for huge single serving cookies on a few other blogs before. Most notably, Sally’s Baking Addiction. And so I got the idea the other day to cut down my go to quick chocolate chip cookie recipe.

I created this single “big ass” cookie perfect for two to share. It’s about the size of 4 large cookies squished together. The size of it makes the perfect texture. Crispy on the edges, puffy and chewy in the middle, and slightly under baked. In my mind, perfect.

I’m going to go ahead and shamelessly admit that I ate this one all by myself. With a big glass of milk. Mr. Baker Bettie was at work. What else was I supposed to do? Sheesh.

But it feels pretty adorable to share this with someone you love.
