Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

I live with a few cookie monsters.  Especially my oldest.  He can sniff out any cookie from a mile away!  One of my goals in life is to train him to make the best chocolate chip cookies on his very own.  Whenever I pull out the ingredients, he is right by my side ready to help.

A few years ago we were at the mall and he saw his
very first giant cookie.  You know the ones.  All covered in bright colored (slightly disgusting) frosting.   Being 5 years old at the time, his mind was
completely blown that there was such a thing in the world!  He begged and begged
that we buy him one, in which he was totally disappointed that we
settled for a regular size one.  Seeing his little sad face pulled on my
mom heartstrings but, I have a hard time buying things I know I can
make myself a thousand times better at home.

His
birthday was just a few weeks away after that mall trip and I wow-ed him by making him his
very own giant cookie instead of birthday cake.  He’s
requested every year since!

about 2 inches around the edges because your cookie will spread during
baking.
