How to make this giant cookie?

For preparing the dough

Use soft butter which you will have left at room temperature. As I did it at the last minute, I put it by the fire for a little while so that it softened!
The first step is to mix the softened butter and sugar well. If your butter is hard, you will need to work it well with the mixer with the sugar.
Then add all the other ingredients, in any order.

Sugar

These cookies are best with brown sugar but white sugar works just as well.

Chocolate

Use chocolate chips or better, roughly crush a bar of chocolate. It will be cheaper and you will get larger pieces that won’t mix too much with the dough, which is even better.

Preparing the giant cookie

Lay out a thick layer ideally in a pastry circle on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. The quantity of this recipe is perfect for a 20 cm circle, with a good 2 centimeters of dough in it.
If you form your cookie into a cake without a circle, it will spread a little when baking and you will not have a very thick cookie like in these photos.
Failing that, use a cake pan such as a springform pan or even a metal pie dish previously buttered and floured.

Cooking

Don’t overbake your cookie. He must stay still a little soft when you take it out of the oven because as you know, cookies always harden as they cool.
The same goes for giant cookies. The time may vary from one oven to another but on average around twenty minutes at 180°C.

What variations for this cookie cake?

Change chocolate

Chocolate of course here 100% dark chocolate, you can use any chocolate you have at home, chewable chocolate or dessert chocolate, make a mix half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate like Cyril Lignac’s cookie recipe.
Other possibilities, all milk chocolate also, even white chocolate but then be careful the cookie can become very sweet (reduce the quantity of sugar or go easy on the quantity of white chocolate.
You can also imagine using spread like Nutella, be careful that it is very cold to form small blocks and not mix with the dough.

Add nuts

Treat yourself to a little crunchy side like brownies with chunks walnuts, pecans or even roasted hazelnuts.
Dried fruits like raisins Or cranberries.

What to flavor the cookies with?

Add flavorings : in this recipe I chose a little vanilla but you can opt for a little cinnamon, cardamom, matcha powder…
My daughter’s favorite combo: milk chocolate and cranberries.

Next giant cookie I’m going to try is Japanese matcha and white chocolate.
I’ll tell you what we thought of it. You can also use your favorite cookie recipe to bake in cake shapes rather than small individual cookies.
