Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Frosting

  • 1/2 batch chocolate buttercream frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper cut to fit the pan shape if using a giant cookie pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened salted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes, which helps create a tender texture.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the large egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until fully incorporated, ensuring an even consistency throughout the dough.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until the dough comes together and the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in half of the semisweet chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup) into the dough to distribute chocolate evenly throughout the cookie.
  6. Shape cookie: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Then, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup) over the top and gently press them into the dough for extra chocolate on the surface.
  7. Bake the cookie: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft to touch. If using an 8-inch or 9-inch pan, bake for an additional 5-8 minutes.
  8. Cool and frost: Allow the cookie to cool completely in the pan to set. Once cooled, pipe swirls of chocolate buttercream frosting around the cookie’s border for a decorative and delicious finish.
  9. Serve: Cut into slices and serve your giant chocolate chip cookie to impress your Valentine with this homemade, delightful dessert.

Notes

  • If baking in an 8-inch or 9-inch pan, the cookie will require an additional 5-8 minutes of baking time to cook through.
  • Be sure to cool the cookie completely before adding frosting to prevent melting or sliding of the buttercream.
  • Using parchment paper helps in easy removal and clean-up of the giant cookie from the pan.
