A few tips for the best Giant Cookie!
Because we’re working with very small ingredients, it’s super important to measure everything EXTREMELY carefully. Make sure you’re lightly spooning flour into measuring cups and leveling with a knife.
Use Our Template
Here is a great template you can use to get the perfect sized cookie. It has 3 circles on it, and all our giant cookie recipes include a recommended baking size. To use this template, place it directly on your baking sheet and then cover it with parchment paper (do not bake directly on the template!). Press your cookie dough down, using the template as a guide.
After Baking, Reshape your Cookie
This is one of my favorite pro-tips (I actually do this with regular sized cookies, too!). In order to get a perfectly round shape, as soon as your cookie comes out of the oven (you only have a short window of time to do this) use a large spatula to gently press the edges in to shape your cookie into a perfect circle. The guide comes in handy for this, too!
Let it cool completely!
Before you frost, make sure it cools on a baking rack completely. Our favorite tool to have on hand for moving around giant cookies is a giant spatula, like this one.
Tips for Packaging
Cookies are full of butter, so make sure to line your cardboard box with parchment paper (as opposed to tissue paper or no paper) so it doesn’t leave grease spots in your box! You can sometimes even find cute printed parchment papers, often called “deli sheets” online.
