DAMARIS PHILLIPS - Half-Pound Chocolate Chip Cookies

Half-Pound Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who says cookies have to be small? This recipe makes 6 extra-large buttery cookies, packed with gooey chocolate chips. They may not all fit on one cookie sheet, so you might have to bake in two or three batches—but that's the price you pay for huge cookies!

6 - 7 cookies

30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 sticks butter, softened

  • 1 firmly packed cup light brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups flour

  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon fine salt

  • 10 ounces chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
 
In a large bowl combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir by hand using a wooden spoon until well combined.
 
Add the egg and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
 
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
 

 Add the flour mixture to the butter sugar mixture and stir until a dough is formed.

 

Stir in the chocolate chips.

 

Divide into 6-7 even dough balls using a scale. They should be roughly 8 ounces each. You can also eyeball it if you don’t have a scale.

 

Form each ball into a 4-inch puck with a flattened top. Place 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. If you stagger you should be able to fit at least 3 on each sheet. (You might have to bake a third tray... that’s just the price you pay for huge cookies!)

 

Bake until edges and bottom is golden, about 11-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool cookies on the pan on the counter for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

 

Enjoy right away with a cold glass of milk!
