Double Chocolate Giant Cookie/ Round 2
So here it is…….again……the giant cookie. This time I just slightly changed the recipe. You can see the other version here
Just substituted some of the flour with cocoa powder and I think it was a super huge hit!!
I took some of the cookies with me to a play date my son had and the kids loved them. They said it tasted it like a brownie cookie. I thought that was very sweet and a very good compliment since kids tend to be brutally honest sometimes ;-)
I think the cocoa powder really intensified the chocolate flavor, I really can’t decided which one was better :-) Oh yeah and I added some salt which I really don’t tend to do much on my baking!!
Enjoy!
This recipe is a two in one kind of thing. On the right picture you can see that I actually got to make regular size cookies, since I doubled the batch. I took these to my son’s play date and they were a huge success with the kids ;-)

Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 12 large cookies
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
4 tablespoon olive oil, canola oil will work as well
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 cup dark chocolate chips, I put about 1/2 cup
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a pizza pan with foil (I used a pampered chef pizza stone lined with parchment paper but I have use the foil method when doubling the batch which is pretty much all the time)
In a bowl mix sugar, oil and butter. (I do this with my hands :-)
Add egg, vanilla and mix well (I do this with a rubber spatula or whisk).
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips and blend well. Shape dough into a bowl and pat down onto the prepared pan until you obtain a giant cookie, just like in the picture. I do this with my hands.
Bake cookies for 22-26 minutes. Cut into wedges 2-4 minutes after getting out of the oven, it is easier this way.

Oooh, I’m going to try to make these vegan with some ground flaxseeds and vegan margarine. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :-D
Really really good! Thank you! We added scoops of ice cream to a warm slice… amazing.
How would I get the middle of the cookie to come out softer? I only baked it for 22 minutes but it was pretty crunchy all the way through.
I am glad you like them. This is what I have found that perhaps can help you next time you bake them. If you do find a way to make them softer and chewier let me know. Thanks for visiting my blog http://www.wisegeek.org/how-can-i-make-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies.htm
