2cupschocolate chips(I just throw in two handfuls)
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter, ¾ cup sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Slowly add 2¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda, beating until well blended.
Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips by hand.
Spread the dough in a greased 14-inch round cake pan. Cover with foil and grease the foil if desired for easier removal.
Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes. Cool the cookie in the pan on a cooling rack, then remove and place on a pizza pan.
Decorate and enjoy.

Expert Tips
Measure Ingredients - To ensure the best cookie, we recommend using a measuring cup to ensure you are adding the right amount of ingredients. If you add to much flour it could cause the cookie to be dry.
Prepare Baking Pan - To easily remove the cookie from the pan, we like to line with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with cookie spray. This makes it easier to cut the cookie and makes cleanup a breeze.
Decorating Cookie - Make sure the cookie has cooled to room temperature before adding frosting and any other decorations.
Combining Ingredients - You certainly can use a hand mixer but we love our stand mixer to mix everything together. It gets a ton of use and to this day is such a good investment.
Cookie Cake Variations Ideas
Additions - Feel free to add in ingredients to change the texture or flavor to what you prefer. Add in 1/2 cup of Chopped Walnuts or Sprinkles.
Small Batch - You can change up this giant chocolate chip cookie recipe and make individual cookies on a baking sheet. Portion out the cookie dough with a cookie scoop and bake. This is a great idea if you prefer to have everyone decorate their own cookie.
