Colossal Cookie

List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
3 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6oz = about 1 cup)



Recipe



In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl at medium speed, beat butter or margarine, brown sugar and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours or in freezer for 45 min or until well chilled, but not hard (chilling makes the dough less sticky and helps prevent excessive spreading during baking).

A 12 inch baking stone with parchment paper is perfect, but you can use a greased a 12 inch round foil baking pan. Place dough in center of pan or stone. Press evenly to within 1 1/2 inches of edge of pan. For easier handling, place foil pan on a baking sheet.

Bake in center of a preheated 325 degree oven for 25-30 min or until edges are firm and no indentation remains in center of cookie when lightly touched. For a softer cookie, bake the minium time. Cool completely.

When cool, remove cookie from pan or stone and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Overwrap with foil to retain freshness. Store in a cool place.

For gift giving: You can use a blow dryer to shrink wrap plastic around cookie. Decorate with frosting, your local pizza place may sell you a box if you would like to give the cookie as a gift.
