Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Oh, and they are the size of your hand.
Cookie perfection: JUMBO chocolate chip cookies.
If possible, I have found something better than a chocolate chip cookie: JUMBO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!
These cookies are huge. The entire batch only yields 6 cookies and unless you have a huge cookie tray, you can only bake 3 at a time. They bake up with a slightly crunchy bottom and have a chewy, soft center that makes you sigh with delight when you take a bite.
After being inspired by a pin from Center Cut Cook, I made several batches of these for our neighbors as Christmas gifts (they are so big you can get away with just making one cookie per person) and each time I altered the recipe just a bit until I found the perfect ratio of ingredients for a jumbo chocolate chip cookie worthy of Christmas wrapping.
If you just need to make ONE big cookie, try my popular recipe for a Giant Cookie Cake! It slices up like a pizza and holds it shape and texture perfectly.
The addition of the pudding mix makes these cookies slightly sweet, and the corn starch in the mixture keeps them soft and fluffy in the middle. The only thing I have not yet done with the batter is to freeze it. I don’t think that the batter would do well after being frozen, as it doesn’t like being refrigerated at all.
However, you can freeze the baked cookies after they were cooled completely and they still taste great. It’s a good way to make a few batches to give away later.

Hi there. Where is your recipe for the jumbo cookie. The whole post is about the jumbo cookie but the recipe shown is for the mini eggs cookie.

Oh no! That has happened in the past-one recipe can get mixed up and pulled from another. I’ll double check it on my end and get that fixed right away. Thanks for the heads up!
