Ingredient Notes
Chocolate – This cookie gets its chocolate flavor from melted chocolate. I used bittersweet chocolate chips when developing the recipe to produce rich chocolate flavor without the extra added sweetness of semi-sweet or milk chocolate. I prefer bittersweet, but you could certainly substitute semisweet (or even unsweetened, going the other direction.) I personally would avoid milk chocolate, but feel free to experiment to see what you like.
How To Make a Giant Chocolate Sugar Cookie
Tip: I use a long metal spatula to gently press against the edges (almost in a tapping motion) to achieve a nice shape with straight lines. I use the same method to go around the curved edges.
