GIANT Single-Serving Cookies (Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookie & 2x Chocolate) - Bigger Bolder Baking 86

Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking GIANT Single-Serving Cookies Hi Bold Bakers! You know those times when you want a freshly-baked warm cookie but you don't want to make an entire batch? Or just maybe have a small amount of flour and like one egg left in your fridge? Well, I've come up with a solution. A recipe that makes just one perfect BIG & BOLD cookie and possibly the nicest cookie you'll ever have. So let's get baking! These recipes make one GIANT cookie but if you want you can make two regular sized cookies. However, this is called Bigger Bolder Baking not little Weenie baking so let's go BIG! We're going to start out with a classic: Chocolate Chip Cookie. In a bowl, add in your melted butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, egg, flour and baking soda. And then mix all of these ingredients together. Once the base of your cookie is mixed, we're going to add in our chocolate chips. What I like to do is get a good quality cooking chocolate and I chop it up into big and small chunks and then mix it in. I find it just makes them really chocolatey. Everybody has a different preference for how they like their cookies. Some people like them crispy. I like them really gooey in the middle and crispy around the outside and that's exactly what this recipe is. And that's it! That's how fast it is to make a recipe for one cookie. And I bet if you pre-heat your oven while you start to make this your cookie will be ready before it pings. Now simply put your cookie dough onto your baking tray. Now the secret with this cookie is you want to make sure you do not pat down the cookie dough too much. You want to keep it nice and thick because that's how you get a lovely gooey cookie. Our big GIANT cookie is ready for the oven. We're going to bake this guy at 350F/180C for around 12-15 minutes. You want to keep a close eye because you don't want to over bake him so he's nice and gooey. If you're living in a dorm, this recipe is great because it can even be baked off in a toaster oven. Unfortunately, however it cannot be cooked in a microwave. For all the recipes and cooking instructions go to www.BiggerBolderBaking.com. Our timer has gone off, so let's check on our chocolate chip cookie. This cookie is cooked perfectly. It's nice and golden brown on the outside and you can see there's a little bit of a dip in the middle and that means it's nice and chewy underneath here. The beauty of this cookie is not just that it's the perfect cookie for one person, it's actually a really great cookie dough as well. So I'm going to crack it open and show you why. You know when you go to a bakery or a shop and you get that cookie that's really soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. Well that is this recipe and that's why I love it so much. This is my kind of cookie. If you like this cookie then you're definitely going to like the next flavor. The next cookie on our list is a beautiful, soft buttery sugar cookie. In a bowl, add in your room temperature butter and sugar and cream them both well together. To this add in your beaten egg and vanilla extract and mix them well together. Ok, lovely. Now it's time for the rest of our ingredients. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. And then gently mix together. Take care not to overmix this cookie. Now a sugar cookie is not a sugar cookie unless it has lots of colorful sprinkles so we're going to add these in right at the end. And there you have it, a recipe for one GIANT cookie ready. We're going to put it onto the baking tray and into the oven. Our lovely buttery sugar cookie is ready to be baked. Look at how good it looks with all its little sprinkles on top. So if you want to make up your cookie ahead of time, you can always keep it in your fridge for up to two days and it will be totally fine. And then you can bake them off whenever you want a freshly baked cookie. There's a lovely smell in here of vanilla and butter in the air so I'm pretty sure my cookie is done. This cookie is gorgeous. It looks like a big celebration with all the lovely sprinkles on top. As you can see it's golden brown around the edges and it's nice and pale in the middle which means it's nice and doughy. Can you believe this cookie? It's the size of my head. mmm. It tastes like buttery soft short bread. It's really good.

And if you follow me on Periscope, you would have gotten a sneak peek at me making these a few weeks ago. Now you know I like to save the big guns until last so this next recipe is like eating a fudge brownie and a cookie at the exact same time. It is a double chocolate chip cookie. In a bowl, add in your room temperature butter, white sugar, and brown sugar and then cream them well together. To this mix, add in beaten egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing. To this mix, we're going to add in our flour, sifted cocoa powder and baking soda and gently mix these ingredients together. Take care not to overmix. When you mix this dough, you'll notice just like the sugar cookie it is a little bit soft but don't worry that's totally fine. Lastly, we're going to fold in our chopped chocolate because that's what makes it double chocolate. A little variation to this cookie that I'm a big fan of is adding in M&Ms. I absolutely adore warm M&Ms in cookies. A BIG & BOLD finishing touch for this cookie, I like to add extra chocolate chunks on top. Just like the other cookies, you want to have this guy nice and thick on the baking tray because the thicker he is the fudgier he is in the middle and that's what you want. Now into the oven. So I just had a little sneak peek at the Double Chocolate Cookie and it is ready to be taken out of the oven. It looks perfect! All of these lovely crinkles all around the top means it nice and fudgie in the middle. You see how soft it still is? That is exactly what you want. All that underneath is fudgie gold. I let this rest for five minutes but I'm just going to cut it open. Check that out. Can you see how this is all fudge? These cookies are best eaten warm. This Double Chocolate Cookie is definitely my favorite.
