How to Make Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir and then set this bowl aside.
In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until they are fully combined and creamy.
Next, add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mix. Stir until it is combined well.
Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until you no longer see any dry bits of flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
To form your cookies, measure out 1/2 cup of dough for each cookie using a measuring cup. This should make about six large cookies. Roll the dough into smooth balls and place three on each baking sheet.
Bake one tray at a time for 17-18 minutes. The cookies will seem soft when you take them out, so let them cool on the sheet for about 5-10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

How to Serve Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Serve these cookies warm or at room temperature. They are perfect on their own, but they taste even better with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream. You can also serve them on a platter at parties or gatherings, and watch everyone enjoy these delicious treats!

How to Store Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a zip-top bag. They will stay fresh in the freezer for about 2-3 months.

Tips to Make Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Don’t skip the cornstarch; it helps create a soft and chewy texture.
If you want to make your cookies even more special, try adding some chopped nuts or using different types of chocolate chips.

Variation (If Any)

You can switch up the chocolate chips with other ingredients like white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or even dried fruit for a different flavor. Feel free to get creative!
