In reply to RedBlueSpice. I haven't personally tried baking this as a cookie cake, but others have reported success doing so. :)

Would adding more dough to the 1/2c scoop to make more of a 8-9″ cookie work and still be baked through the center? Or is this ill advised?

Perhaps, flattening the extra dough just a little bit before baking to achieve a baked center?

In reply to Mamta Pahuja. These are a big cookie, but they aren't supposed to be super fat. You could try adding a couple tablespoons of cornstarch to make them a little thicker and not spread as much.

In reply to Sam Merritt. Not completely flat and thin, but I would like them to be a bit more fluffy, perhaps 5mm thick, but they are about 3mm. You think, cooling the dough for a bit longer might help.

How can I save this recipe?

In reply to Mamta. They will flatten a little bit out of the oven. Once out of the heat the puff deflates a little bit. Are they going completely flat and thin?

In reply to Holly. Hi Holly! You just want it to cool to about room temperature. You don't want it to be warm to the touch. :)

Hi Sam! What temperature will the melted butter be ready for the recipe? Thank you for clarifying. 🙂

In reply to COCO. You would want to use 1 cup of brown butter to match the 1 cup of melted butter this recipe calls for. :)

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. What do you mean by an equal amount of brown butter? I'm also interested in using brown butter instead of melted butter for these giant choc chip cookies. Thank you!

In reply to Marie Moore. Hi Marie! We think that could work, just make sure you use an equal amount of brown butter. Enjoy! :)

Hey Sam, I have made so many of your dessert recipes and they are all FANTASTIC! I saw that you have a brown butter cookie recipe, but I want to make giant chocolate chip cookies with brown butter. Am I able to substitute the melted butter with brown butter. Thanks

These cookies are responsible for my son’s first friendships at college! I sent him with a couple dozen (a workout to mix) packaged in eat now & freeze containers for homesick days. Instead he walked around on move in weekend handing them out! When I say friendships were made, I mean he’s now in his junior year in an apartment with 3 other guys he gave a cookie to! So thank you for these amazing cookies and lasting friendships!

I was looking for guidance on size to make large cookies. Your half cup helped. I don’t have a 1/2 cup scoop so I used a measuring cup initially. Just a FYI for others; 1/2 cup of cookie dough weighed 150 grams.

In reply to Brenda. Hi Brenda! You can replace it with flour. The cookies won't be quite as soft.
