Preparation Tips:

• Ensure your butter is soft but not melted for the best texture.
• When mixing, be careful not to overmix once the flour is added to keep the cookie tender.
• The smaller the diameter of your mold, the thicker and softer the cookie will be.

• Ingredients:
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 70g vergeoise (or brown sugar, or substitute with granulated sugar)
  • 120g soft butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5g baking powder
  • 150g chocolate chips or a chocolate bar chopped into small pieces
• Method:
  1. Prepare the Dough:
     • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and homogenous.
     • Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
     • Gradually mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
     • Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks last to avoid overmixing. Use a spatula to fold them gently into the dough.
  2. Assemble the Cookie:
     • Line or grease a 20cm round mold.
     • Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the mold.
     • Add a layer of chocolate spread or square chocolate pieces to the center of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
     • Cover with the remaining dough, pressing the edges to seal in the filling.
     • Sprinkle the top with more chocolate chips, chunks, or other desired toppings.
  3. Baking:
     • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
     • Bake the cookie for 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning; it should be golden and set with a soft center.
     • Allow the cookie to cool slightly in the mold before transferring it to a wire rack.

Serve this Giant XXL Chocolate Chip Cookie slightly warm for a melt-in-your-mouth experience, or let it cool completely for a firmer texture. This cookie is not just a treat; it’s an event that brings joy and delight to any occasion. Enjoy baking and even more, enjoy sharing this gigantic sweet indulgence!
