one giant cookie

i saw this recipe and just had to try it.

maybe i tried it 3 times last week, i can't remember...

i was actually surprised when it worked. it seems like giant cookies never work- but we loved this one(all 3 times). i love the idea of transferring the cookie to a cardboard circle or putting it in a pizza box and giving to someone.

here's the recipe again- originally i found it here.

(if you go to the original recipe, read the comments on the post. i thought there were some great helpful hints on it)

One Giant Cookie
1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and butter. Add the egg and vanilla and mix. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Line a large cookie sheet with foil and press the cookie into a circle. I pressed mine to about 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick. When it bakes, it spread, which filled up my pan pretty well.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the cookie is lightly golden brown. Let the cookie cool completely on the baking pan – this helps the cookie stabilize and set so it can be easily lifted off the pan. Once cool, gently use the foil to lift the cookie off the pan.
