Classic Vanilla Giant Sugar Cookie
Sometimes, the simplest pleasures come from the most familiar flavors, like the warm, buttery embrace of a classic vanilla giant sugar cookie. It’s a recipe that feels like home, a sweet reminder of afternoons spent baking with loved ones or the quiet joy of a treat made just for you.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (I find that butter just slightly cooler than room temp makes for the perfect dough consistency)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (the finer the grain, the smoother your cookie will be)
- 1 large egg (room temperature eggs blend more seamlessly into the batter)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (the real stuff makes all the difference here)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted, for a lighter, fluffier cookie)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (a little lift goes a long way)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (just enough to balance the sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Tip: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so stop as soon as you no longer see dry flour.
- Roll the dough into a large ball, then flatten it into a giant cookie shape on the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2 inch thick. Tip: For a perfectly round cookie, use a plate or the bottom of a pan to gently shape the edges.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden but the center is still soft. Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Lightly crisp around the edges with a tender, chewy center, this giant sugar cookie is a canvas for your creativity. Drizzle it with melted chocolate, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking, or serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent twist.

- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (the sweet stuff that makes life worth living)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (they mix better when they’re not shivering)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (the good kind, please, none of that imitation stuff)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (the backbone of our cookie empire)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (the unsung hero that gives it a little lift)
- 1/2 tsp salt (to balance out the sweet, because we’re sophisticated like that)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (because more is more when it comes to chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) – no guessing games here, precision is key.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s lighter than your mood on a Friday afternoon.

- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt – think of it as creating a tiny snowstorm.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Pro tip: do this in batches unless you enjoy flour clouds.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with the enthusiasm of someone who just found extra chips at the bottom of the bag.
- Press the dough into a greased 12-inch pizza pan or a similar-sized baking sheet. Yes, it’s big, and yes, it’s supposed to be.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the center is still soft. Watch it like a hawk – nobody likes a overbaked cookie.
- Let it cool on the pan for 10 minutes before attempting to move it. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to giant cookies.
Viola! You’ve just created a cookie that’s crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and packed with chocolate in every bite. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top for the ultimate indulgence, or enjoy it as is – no judgment here.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing is the enemy of tender cookies.
- Press the dough into a greased 12-inch pizza pan or a similar-sized baking sheet. Aim for an even thickness; nobody likes a cookie with an identity crisis.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The center should still be soft but not doughy.

Brown Butter Giant Sugar Cookie
Alright, let’s dive into the world of buttery, sugary bliss with a cookie so giant, it might just need its own zip code. This isn’t just any sugar cookie; it’s a brown butter giant sugar cookie that’s crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and packed with a nutty depth that’ll have you questioning all your life choices up until this point.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (because we’re fancy like that, and yes, it’s going to be browned to perfection)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (the more, the merrier, right?)
- 2 large eggs (room temp, please—they mix better and won’t shock your butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (the good stuff, none of that imitation nonsense)
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (scoop and level, folks—no one likes a dense cookie)
- 1 tsp baking soda (the unsung hero of lift and texture)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (because we’re not savages—we want a little rise)
- 1 tsp salt (to balance all that sweetness and make your taste buds sing)
Instructions
- First, brown that butter. Melt it in a light-colored pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a beautiful amber color and smells like heaven. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Tip: Keep an eye on it; butter goes from browned to burnt faster than you can say ‘cookie’.
- Pour the browned butter into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 10 minutes. You don’t want to scramble those eggs when you add them.
- Add the granulated sugar to the cooled butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should look like wet sand.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Tip: Crack your eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shell surprises.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Overmixing is the enemy of tender cookies.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial for preventing cookie pancakes. Tip: If you’re impatient (like me), you can speed this up in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1/4 cup portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for spreading.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. They’ll firm up as they cool, so resist the urge to overbake.
Now, let’s talk about the magic of this cookie. The brown butter gives it a toasty, almost caramel-like flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet, chewy center. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate ‘I deserve this’ moment, or enjoy it as is—because let’s be honest, it’s perfect on its own.

- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. The center will still be soft but will set as it cools.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Tip: Overmixing leads to tough cookies, and we’re not about that life.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and sliced almonds. This is where the magic happens.
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your hand or a spatula.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Tip: They’ll firm up as they cool, so resist the urge to overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Let’s talk about the texture: chewy with a slight crunch from the almonds, and pockets of melted chocolate that’ll have you coming back for more. Serve these beauties warm with a glass of cold milk, or dare I say, crumble one over vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert mashup.

- Divide the dough in half. Press one half into the prepared baking sheet, creating an even layer. Spread the salted caramel sauce over this layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place the remaining dough over the caramel layer, sealing the edges as best as you can. It’s like making a caramel sandwich, and you’re the chef.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center might look a bit soft, but it’ll set as it cools.
