The Big Cookie Project: Week 4








This week I was looking for a cookie that would hold up well in a plastic baggie. So, no super soft cookies, or cookies filled with jellies. I found this recipe in the Martha Stewart Cookie Book. They are:


GIANT CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES












Recipe:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 large egg

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

2. Mix butter and sugar and then mix in shortening. Add egg and vanilla; mix until creamy. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until just combined.

3. Use a 2 1/2 inch ice cream scoop, drop onto baking sheets. Bake until edges are firm, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

These cookies ended up being super huge, but super good. Greg said they were even more delicious with a large glass of cold milk. These will definitely hold up well in a plastic baggie.
