Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
For those of you who are looking for an indulgent treat, these giant crinkled chocolate chip cookies are perfect. You'll need: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them several inches apart. Roll each scoop of dough in the granulated sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Making the Dough
To make the dough for these giant chocolate chip crinkled cookies, start by creaming together the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat them together until they are light and fluffy. Next, add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and your dough is ready to go.
Shaping the Dough
Once the dough is ready, it’s time to shape it. To get the classic crinkled look, you’ll need to roll the dough into 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough and then roll it in granulated sugar.
