Juan started a new rotation with work last week. And I do love any reason to celebrate so I decided to make him something special. Big chocolate chip cookies.
Juan loving it.
Crisp on the outside, gooey in the middle.
Here's the recipe from mrshardingcooks.blogspot.com:
Ridiculous Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets (don't be tempted to make them smaller, they aren't as good (texture is compromised) and trust, you will want them big). Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or kosher salt on each cookie immediately after removing from oven. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

YUMMMM!! Those cookies look divine! How fun that you sprinkle salt on after baking. I've always wanted more of the salty/sweet taste and that would do it. Did you notice the salt?
Yes we definitely noticed the salt, and loved it! We put more on the second batch than the first, after knowing how delicious it was.
Oh my! Those look and sound amazing!
I am going to have to make these. They look so good.
Those look really good! We've been making skookies... a giant cookie baked in a 6 inch cast iron skillet. When it comes out of the oven, you put a big scoop of ice cream on it. Amazing. Really healthy too. :)
Oh yum, I want some. Thanks for the recipe. :) Also, Maya is so, so cute.
