Giant Chocolate Cookie

Giant Chocolate Cookie

Giant chocolate cookie, I don't think I've met anyone who is opposed to that idea. Gina and my mom were in their crazy moods again and went out and ran another half marathon. Since I have a brain I stayed at home and made them something to look forward to when they got home. That way when running, they could act like they are running towards a giant cookie way better then what they actually get when they finish which is warm bananas and being surrounded by a lot of other sweaty bodies. 

These cookies are huge. Like the size of my hand/face huge. Maybe even bigger then the size of most peoples brains. Just saying. 

The cookie is so thick it is sort of like a brownie in the middle part. The first time I attempted to make these the recipe was sort of a dud. It came out like the picture below. It didn't look very appealing, however it still tasted good. The original recipe was made to make one giant cookie. However it required measuring out half a beaten egg and that sort of weird thing. After the following results I decided to change it. There was enough dough for TWO giant cookies.

Yum Yum Yum ginat cookies. Because if you eat a normal sized cookie you always want another, this just saves you the extra trip to the kitchen.

Ingredients:

1/4 C butter (softened)

1/4 C brown sugar

1/4 C granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 C flour

1/3 C cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 C dark chocolate MnMs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a baking sheet. 

1. In a bowl combine the butter and the sugars

2. Next beat in the egg and vanilla

3. Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Add them all into the bowl before you stir, thats my way of making sure they all are evenly combined without having to dirty another bowl. 

4. Fold in the MnMs

5. Divide into two separate mounds and spread apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
