Ingredients You’ll Need
Here is your simple ingredient line up. Pretty sure you will have everything in your pantry to try these out today. I mean, you have to try it out on yourself before you give it to Santa right?!
How to Make a Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie
Let’s get started shall we? Add your sugar to the softened butter.
Don’t forget the brown sugar 🙂
Break out a spoon and cream your butter and sugars until well combined.
Take one large egg and beat it until completely combined.
Add 2 Tablespoons of your beaten egg to the bowl.
A little shot of vanilla.
Give a good mix with your spoon then time for the dry ingredients.
Gorgeous!
Mix a couple times around the bowl and….
…add those chocolate chips.
Can I just take a moment to say how incredibly awesome this dough is?!
Take your largest scoop and dump in smack dab in the middle of your baking sheet.
Buttery crisp around the edges and perfectly soft and chewy in the middle. Yes!!
This ginormous cookie looks awesome wrapped in a clear bag with a bow for that special friend too 🙂

Happy Baking! Come back soon 🙂 xoxo
I just made this cookie tonight and it turned out perfectly! I did cheat and use my hand mixer – I was a little lazy, what can I say! My teenage daughter and I split it and it was delish!! Defintely keeping this recipe handy any time I am craving a cookie, but don’t want an entire batch hanging around the house š Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Love your blog!!
Now this is the PERFECT cookie for Santa!! He will want to move into your house š
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.
xo
Is it bad if I want to make this and eat it all by myself?
The biggest and the best Cookie for Santa š
I did a “trial run” of this recipe last night with The Teen. We had a handful of M&M’s available so we had milk chocolate chips (I never buy semisweet! blech!) and M&M’s in ours. HEAVEN.
I am going to pre-make some of this Saturday morning to take to my parents’ house so we can bake it up there for Santa. And, you know, keep the recipe laminated and duct-taped to the front of the fridge so I can make it anytime.
The hardest part was whipping the egg to the point where it wasn’t so snotty that it wouldn’t scoop properly into my tablespoon. Never though “snotty eggs not cooperating” would be added to my holiday stress list! š
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Lauren!! Thanks for the feedback!
this recipe helped me decide! yahooo!!!! Grams is coming for Christmas … we are having 3 generations for a girls night of baking and crafting! Perfect for each of us to make our own, celebrate family and talk about all things wonderful! thanks!
I predict Santa will not be able to climb up the chimney after having these.. hehe.
Just call me Santa! This is my kind of cookie.
I wonder if this recipe would work in a 6×2 cake pan pizookie style!! Looks delicious!
Stephanie, I think it would work just fine in a cake pan!! Hope you enjoy!
I made one of these XXL cookies before… too big to eat though >.<
Ah you did it again! I finally made your giant peanut butter cookie and now I have to make this one.
Love this idea – and I’m sure Santa will, too!
I should make a test cookie for Santa…quality control, ya know?
Yes! Absolutely 100% š
Now that is what I call one deliciously photographed cookie! I’d come down the chimney for one of those…love the vanilla you use too. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thank you Brooks! It was awfully photogenic š Happy Holidays to you too! xoxo
Great idea! I love it! We’ll leave one of these out for Santa for sure!
Hope Santa enjoys š Make an extra or two for your family, they are irresistible! Happy Holiday!
I think Mrs. Claus should have one too!
I think you are absolutely right Sandra!! Mrs. Clause should have 2 š Happy Holidays! xoxo
One giant cookie for Santa…brilliant! Plus, there’s no way Santa could eat the whole thing, right? Sooo I guess Dad will have to help out the next morning š
Lol! I totally agree Zesty, however maybe Mom will beat Dad to it š Happy Holidays!
What an amazing cookie! I want to be Santa and your house š
Mmm, I’d take it up a notch take some colored icing to write a cute message to santa! š
Love it!! Go for it!
Umm…my pants are going to be XXL after this holiday season.
Mine too Lauren!! xoxo
Reminds me of the giant cookie made by Jacques Torres. I won’t share, sorry š
Definitely make some extra, because after one bite, there will be NO sharing at all š
You have the luckiest Santa ever!
I have to ask..has anyone actually made this? I am also curious about the centre baking without burning edges. And, of course taste.
that has got MY NAME written all over it!! Santa and I might have to just enjoy this together and kick back a few glasses of milk š
I’ve actually met Santa personally, and I can say that I know for a FACT that he loves HUGE cookies. Your kids will probably get all the presents!!
Lol! Happy Holidays to you and your family š
Oh em gee! Santa’s going to be very happy this year. Love this recipe!
I love your one-person desserts. Santa will be so happy š
This is officially going on my “must-bake-this-week” list. And Santa’s proooobably not gettin’ any leftover bites of this cookie. š
Hope you love it Tara!! xoxo
Forget Santa, I want this cookie for myself..ha!
Mmm, that last picture looks perfect. I’ve done large cookies before, but rarely can you get the texture in the middle -and- on the edges perfect.
It can be tricky for sure Jessi, this recipe does the trick š
Whoa! I am in love.
Santa’s a big guy with lots of miles to cover. He will be so happy to see these XXL cookies š
for santa?! how about for me?? š
There is pretty much nothing like a giant cookie! This so needs to happen for me:-)
I bet Santa will bring me really good presents if I make this for him!
Yummy!!! that looks so good! š
