Giant Cookie Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, baking soda, vanilla and corn syrup. Add oats and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M's. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Make the cookie: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until just combined. Mix in the molasses and vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Turn out the dough onto the baking sheet. With lightly floured hands, press the dough into a 10-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Uncover the dough. Bake until the cookie is slightly puffed and golden around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan, then slide the cookie (on the parchment) onto a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons water and whisk until the mixture is smooth and stiff peaks form. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the icing is thin enough to pipe.
• Transfer the icing to a piping bag with a small star tip. Pipe a snowflake design on the cookie. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and let the icing set, about 30 minutes. Cut the cookie into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs and oil until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Press half the dough into a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Combine peanut butter and confectioners' sugar; spread over dough in skillet. Press remaining dough between sheets of parchment into a 10-in. circle; place over filling., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 20-25 minutes. Serve warm, with optional ingredients as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in top third. Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Beat in chocolate, pecans, and coconut until just combined. (Dough can be made up to this point, covered in plastic, and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
• Line baking sheets with parchment. Using a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop, drop dough onto prepared sheets, about 3 inches apart. Flatten each with palm of hand. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges of cookies begin to turn golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in pecans. , Shape into 2-in. balls and roll in coarse sugar. Place 2-1/2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 13-15 minutes or until tops are cracked. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl, beat until combined, then stir in the yolks and vanilla. Tip in the flour, baking powder, chocolate chips, a pinch of sea salt and any other fillings you want to add. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
• Lightly butter a 25cm ovenproof frying pan. Spoon in and flatten the cookie mixture. For a gooey dessert, bake for 20 mins, leave to rest for 5 mins, then scoop straight from the pan and serve with ice cream, if you like. For a firmer cookie you can cut, bake for 30 mins, then leave to cool completely before cutting into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until combined; mix in vanilla.
• With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just incorporated. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop 1/4-cup mounds of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, at least 4 inches apart and away from edges of pan. (You will fit about 4 cookies to a sheet; bake in 2 batches, using 2 baking sheets per batch.) Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets front to back and from top to bottom of oven halfway through.
• Cool 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.
• Gradually add flour, salt, and baking soda, beating until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
• Spread in greased 14 inch round pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes. Cool cookie in pan on a cooling rack. Decorate as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth. Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Add the oats and mix just until combined.
• Combine the dried cranberries, chocolate chips and peanuts in a small bowl. Add all but a few tablespoons of the cranberry mixture to the dough and mix just until combined. Refrigerate the dough until slightly firm, about 15 minutes.
• Turn out the dough onto the baking sheet. Press into a 9-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the top with the reserved dried cranberry mixture and press to adhere. Bake until the cookie is crisp and golden around the edges and set in the center, 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cookie cool completely on the pan. Cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with one rack in upper third and another in lower third. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat well to combine.
• With mixer on low, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, then remaining flour mixture; mix just until smooth. (Dough will be stiff; you may need to finish mixing it by hand with a wooden spoon.)
• Drop mounds of dough, each equal to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 inches apart, onto two ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until edges of cookies are just firm and tops are barely beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets once halfway through. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
