Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine cocoa powder, sugar and oil in a mixing bowl and beat together. Mix in egg plus 1 egg yolk and vanilla.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips. Form dough into a ball in your bowl and place bowl in freezer for 10-15 minutes to chill. It's the perfect amount of time to clean up.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over dough ball and roll around to coat.
  • Place on cookie sheet and gently flatten to 7-inches in diameter.
    (Tip: Sometimes the warmth of your hand pressing down the dough melts the powdered sugar on top! Feel free to sprinkle on a little extra before baking.)
  • Bake for about 11-13 minutes until edges look set and center looks puffed but soft. you should see some small crinkles and more will appear while cooling! Carefully transfer to a cooling rack. We actually prefer this cookie cooled rather than warm so do your best to wait!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Homemade cookies are safe to eat for a week or more when stored this way, but they will definitely have the best taste and texture the first couple days.
  • This cookie is best once fully cooled, so you do your best to wait!
  • Because we are working with such small ingredients it's important that you measure them correctly. It's very easy to alter your dough for any of these giant cookies simply by not measuring your flour correctly, packing your brown sugar too much, or using a small egg. We've included details in the recipe to help with this!
