Big Cookie Recipe

So I don't know if you've ever seen those fat cookies on Instagram... but good lord are they THICC. If you don't know what i'm talking about, go on Instagram right now and look up some of my favorite fat cookie businesses, @fatandweirdcookie , @kookiesandkreamsarasota , and @mega_liciouscookieco . After seeing countless pictures and videos of these beauties being broken open, I decided one night that nothing would bring me more joy than being able to enjoy cookies like these whenever my heart desires. After many trials and taste tests, I have finally found a recipe that I think is pretty close!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 sticks softened unsalted butter *NOT MELTED*
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter, both sugars, and vanilla using a mixer until well combined and fluffy.

2. Stir in 2 eggs until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 2-3 small batches. Mix with mixer until well combined, use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until just combined. It is very important to not overwork the dough.

5. Stir in chocolate chips gently using a spatula.

6. Scoop out 1/3-1/2 cup of dough and shape into a large ball. Place on a greased cookie sheet about 4 inches part from.

7. Chill shaped cookies in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes. *THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE COOKIES THICK*

8. While the cookies are chilling, preheat the oven to 375 F.

9. Bake cookies at 375 F for 15-20 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown on the bottom and slightly golden brown on the top with a soft center.

Notes:

1. If you get nervous like me, feel free to use a spatula to make sure the cookies aren't stuck to the pan before putting them into the oven .

2. Allow cookies to cool before enjoying.

3. Feel free to increase baking time as needed to cook the cookies to your liking.

4. Feel free to experiment with cookies by placing small candies into the center before shaping and baking.

5. Store leftover cookies in a covered container on the counter.
