Last year I made a batch of jumbo chocolate chips cookies for a dessert auction. They sold for $50! There's just something about a jumbo cookie that makes it such a treat. Especially when it is the size of 4 cookies.
I'm back with my giant cookies, this time in deep dish form. Like my other cookies, these are made using ½ c. of cookie dough, but instead of flattening on the pan, they bake up perfectly in my baking liners.
These baking liners are not to be confused with muffin liners. These are much thicker and are coated with a nonstick surface inside. They are perfect for deep dish cookies and tarts. The first time I saw baking liners like these was at IKEA years ago. I was so intrigued! I bought a set and used them to make little cakes for Ruby's first birthday.
Note: the liners I linked above are often sold out. You might try these ones or these ones.
Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies
Because the cookies are the size of 4 cookies, they are perfect to share. Make a batch for Valentine's Day! You can even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the center while they are warm.
I added a chocolate heart to each one, pressing it in gently as soon as the cookies came out of the oven. These Hershey's hearts taste just like Hershey kisses. You can also use Reese's or Dove heart candies for added sweetness.
One batch makes 10 deep dish chocolate chip cookies. Like any cookie, they are best right out of the oven but will stay fresh for a few days if stored in an airtight container.
To reheat cookies to a freshly baked texture, microwave for 5-8 seconds.

Such a neat idea, what about using a muffin top pan. My pan is silicone and the width is 3 inches by 3/4 inch in depth. I know I would need to reduce the amount of batter in each and baking time. Just recently started following you and have enjoyed everything.
Brandy says
Linda, I think that would be a great idea!
Anne says
I was hoping to make these about a week ahead, do think they will freeze well? I apologize if I missed this info in the comments!
Brandy says
You can freeze them! I think they are best served warm so you can thaw them then reheat in the microwave, no problem!

Will a 4 1/2" springform pan make a good substitution for the liners?
Brandy says
I think that could work!
Becky says
Loved making these! Do you have a double chocolate chip cookie recipe for these? I'm just unsure how much cocoa powder to add to this one.
Thanks
Brandy says
I’m so glad you liked these! I have a double chocolate cookie that you could easily convert for this. Hmmm…maybe I should just create a new recipe post. Thanks for the idea! With a scoop of ice cream it’s be delish! Here is the other recipe: https://gluesticksblog.com/favorite-double-chocolate-chip-cookies/
KARIE ANDERSON says
My original chocolate chip cookie recipe does not call for baking baking powder. If I do add the baking powder you suggest, plus the baking sodq that I do use what will it do to my cookies?
Brandy says
Hi Karie! I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking what will happen if you add baking powder to your original chocolate chip cookie recipe? I'm not sure what the baking powder does for the cookie dough so I'm not sure how it would change other recipes. Sorry I'm not more help!
Paula Harris says
If I don't have the cookies liners, can you think of a substitute, maybe heavy cupcake baking cups?
Brandy says
Hi Paula! You can use cupcake cups, the cookies will just be a little smaller. You may need to adjust the cooking time as well 🙂
