Can I make giant cookies out of regular cookie dough?

You can definitely make giant cookies out of regular cookie dough! Here's the key:

Adjusting for Size:

* Baking Time: Giant cookies will take longer to bake through than regular-sized cookies. Start with the recommended baking time for your recipe and add 5-10 minutes, checking frequently.

* Thickness: Don't make the cookie too thick, or the center will be doughy. Aim for about 1/2 inch thick.

* Baking Sheet: Make sure your baking sheet is large enough to accommodate the giant cookie. If not, you may need to bake it in two parts.

Additional Tips:

* Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and ensures a thicker, more even cookie.

* Use a Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easier cleanup.

* Bake at a Lower Temperature: Baking at a slightly lower temperature (325°F or 160°C) can help prevent the edges from burning before the center is cooked through.

* Cooling Time: Allow the giant cookie to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent it from breaking apart.

Enjoy your giant cookies! 🍪🍪🍪
