Big Ass Cookie, Huge Chocolate Chip Cookie- Baker Bettie

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!

Big Ass Cookie, Huge Chocolate Chip Cookie- Baker Bettie

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.

Big Ass Chocolate Chip Cookie For Two (or One)- Baker Bettie

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.

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!  

Ingredients

  • 56 grams (4 tablespoons, ½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 100 grams (½ cup) brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 120 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 75 grams (½ cup) chocolate chips or chunks, your choice of semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate

Instructions

Prep

  1. Remove the butter (56 grams/ 4 tablespoons) and egg (1 large) from the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Make the cookie

  1. Place the softened butter and brown sugar (100 grams/ ½ cup) into a medium or large mixing bowl and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or large spatula. Alternatively, use a mixer to cream together until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and mix until incorporated.
  3. Add the baking powder (1 teaspoon), kosher salt (½ teaspoon), and flour (120 grams/ 1 cup) and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks (75 grams/ ½ cup).
  5. Mound the dough into a large ball on the lined baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth out the dough into a round disc about 1- 1 ½ inches (2.5- 4 cm) thick. Top with a few more chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake for 13-18 minutes until set. The edges will be slightly crisp while the middle looks slightly underbaked.
  7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing.

Notes

TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL COOKIES: Divide the dough into 8 roughly even portions. Roll into balls and place onto the baking sheet. Bake on 350ºF (180ºC) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the middles look slightly underbaked.
