I made a batch of these for a church dessert auction, and they sold for $50! Our friends who bought them enjoyed them so much that I made another batch and delivered them when my friend came home from the hospital. Chocolate chip cookies make everything better.
Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies
One cookie = about 4 regular-sized cookies. You can make jumbo cookies out of ANY cookie recipe. Use whatever chocolate chips you’d like. A combination of milk and semi-sweet is my personal favorite. Just reserve some on the side instead of putting them all into your dough. I’ll tell you why in a bit. These cookies have a soft texture on the inside with slight crispiness around the edges. Want to take them up a notch and enhance the flavors? Sprinkle the cookies with a pinch of kosher salt or sea salt right before baking. You're welcome.
Tips for making jumbo chocolate chip cookies:
(You can convert most cookie recipes to jumbo cookies using these tips).
- Use a measuring cup as a scoop. I like using ¼ c., ⅓. or ½ c. scoops. For these ones (6" cookies) I used a ½ c. measuring cup.
- Lower the oven temperature 25-50 degrees.
- Bake a bit longer, watching carefully on the first batch.
Scoop out the dough then press into a 4" disc. You don't want to make them flat, but you also don't want to just scoop out ½ c. of cookie dough in a blog and try to bake it. Gently pressing them into a circular shape works perfectly.
Adding chocolate chips:
I like reserving some of the chocolate chips to add on top after the cookie dough right before placing them into the oven. I simply sprinkle on a few chocolate chips and press them into the dough.

Where does one find jumbo chocolate chips and which brand do you prefer? These look amazing. I think I would make them slightly smaller. Do you need to press down the dough before baking?!
Brandy says
Hi! I used regular chocolate chips, but Guittard sells a "super" chocolate chip that is larger. The only stores near me that sell those are World Markets, but if you are out west you can find them at Sprouts and lots of grocery stores have them in Utah. And I do press the dough down a bit to flatten before baking.

Should the butter be softened or cold when creaming with the sugar?
