Ben & Jerry’s Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie Dough may get all the attention, but let’s not forget what cookie dough is also good for: cookies! We like our chocolate chip cookies moist, chunky and BIG. Throw a scoop of Cookie Dough ice cream in between two of these for a real treat.

INGREDIENTS

115 grams butter, at room temperature50 grams granulated sugar
65 grams brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
125 grams plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
175 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
55 grams coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350° F
Beat the butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
Mix the flour, salt and baking soda in another bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if desired).
Drop the dough, using a small ice-cream scoop, 4 to six centimetres apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each scoop with the back of a spoon to about 7.5 centimetres in diameter.
Bake until the centers are still slightly soft to the touch, 11 to 14 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Makes 12 to 15 giant cookies
