When your next chocolate craving hits, you’ll be glad to have this recipe for 1 giant double chocolate cookie. Extra chewy, fudgy, and with double the chocolate, this mega-sized cookie couldn’t be easier to make and is perfect for sharing… or not.
. I also added an optional dough chilling step.
My recipe for double chocolate chip cookies is a forever favorite, but sometimes life (or a craving) happens and we don’t have the the time (or patience) to wait for cookie dough to chill. Or maybe we just don’t need 2 dozen chocolate cookies in our kitchens!
This is when a recipe for just 1 large cookie comes in handy.
Today’s giant double chocolate cookie satisfies even the largest chocolate craving. Move over chocolate truffles, because in less time, we can prep, bake, AND eat a chocolate cookie the size of our faces. Yes, you’ll have a warm, 6-inch chocolate cookie in just 35 minutes.
Eating Success Tip/Life Hack: Place warm cookie on a large plate and plop some vanilla ice cream on top and drizzle with caramel. Enjoy.
The ingredients list for this oversized chocolate cookie is very similar to my double chocolate chip cookies, only downsized. And lucky for you, you probably have most (if not all) of the ingredients on hand.
The only tricky part, if you can even call it that, is the egg. If you’ve made my recipe for 1 giant monster cookie before, you know the drill. Since you’re downsizing everything else, you need to downsize the egg, too. Take one egg, crack it, beat it, and then use 2 Tablespoons of the beaten egg. Save the rest (it’s not much) for tomorrow morning’s omelet.
When it comes to the chocolate chips, anything goes here. Semi-sweet, milk, dark… whatever you like in your chocolate chip cookies, you’ll like here. You could even use white chocolate chips like in these inside out chocolate chip cookies, or Reese’s Pieces like you see in this 1 giant Reese’s Pieces peanut butter cookie. A must for all chocolate/peanut butter lovers!
The bake time is around 20 minutes. Once those edges are set, the cookie is done.
If you’re in the mood to share, you can use this recipe to make 4 smaller (but still plenty big!) cookies. Bake time will be about 9–10 minutes. See recipe Note below.
But if you need to make a whole batch of cookies to share with family and friends, I recommend my double chocolate chip cookies. It’s an incredibly versatile chocolate dough, so you can use that same basic recipe to make s’more chocolate crinkle cookies in the summer, peppermint mocha cookies in the winter, or classic chocolate crinkle cookies any time of year. A chocolate cookie for every occasion. 😉
If I’m making one of these for Valentine’s Day or another holiday, I love adding a few sprinkles on top before baking. Totally optional!
And while it’s not a cookie recipe, let me remind you about my giant cinnamon roll cake. It’s basically a mega-sized cinnamon roll, and who can say no to that? 😉
Use this cookie dough to make one giant 6-inch double chocolate cookie or 4 smaller chocolate cookies. It's extra fudgy and soft... like an oversized brownie!
