XL / Super Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

After a lot of trial and error, I have finally found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that will not disappoint. If you're searching for a thick, chewy, delicious chocolate chip cookie then look no further. I was determined to find a recipe that didn't result in flat cookies and these were anything but.  These cookies are extra large, extra thick and have the best flavor! I found this recipe on Pinterest, adapted it to my liking and the results were AH-MAZING!

Ingredients:

1/2 C unsalted butter

3/4 C light brown sugar

1/4 C white sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 C flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1) Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat, set aside.

2) Using a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars. Cream together until fluffy.

3) Add in egg and vanilla. Continue mixing until combined.

4) In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients, mixing until combined.

* At this point, the dough will look dry and crumbly- this is normal! (See picture below)

5) Pour in chocolate chips and combine using your hands. This will help to bring the dough together.

6) Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.

7) Divide the dough into 8 sections and compress into a round puck shape, place on cookie sheet. (You really need to work the dough into this shape- if it isn't compressed, it'll crumble and fall apart during baking)

* if you want smaller cookies, just make the portions smaller

8) Bake at 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes, until tops are golden brown.

9) Allow to cool completely and ENJOY!

You actually want to compress these even tighter into a puck than is pictured below. This will keep them from falling apart when baking (which is what happened to my first batch) 

Can't wait to hear what you think!!

XO, Alyssa
