For me, there is nothing better than chocolate! Especially in cookie form! After making the chocolate chip cookie cream pie, chocolate cookie dough truffles and chocolate cookies, I can say I have died happily due to chocolate coma!
These are delicious and crunchy, with chocolate nuggest! It also uses one of my favourite ingredients to bake with which is brown sugar! This recipe is perfect for you if you're looking for an afternoon snack, something sweet to munch on or looking for something fun to do!
GIANT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
PREP TIME: 20 mins + cooling | COOK TIME: 15 - 20 mins | MAKES: 12 large cookies
INGREDIENTS
- 115g butter, softened
- 125g caster sugar
- 125g soft light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 280g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarb of soda
- 300g chocolate chunks (use normal chocolate instead of baking)
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180 C
- Line 3 -4 large baking sheets with baking paper
- Place butter and sugars in a large bowl and beat together until pale and creamy
- Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture until smooth
- Sift in the flour and bicarb soda and beat together until well mixed
- Stir in chocolate chunks
- Drop 12 large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheets. Make sure to leave plenty of room in between because these do spread
- Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until set and golden brown. (This depends on your preference - if you're into crunchy, leave it in for 20 minutes and if you like it softer take it out at 15 mins)
- Leave to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely
