- What’s even better than a chocolate cookie? A giant cookie. What’s even better than a giant chocolate cookie? A giant cookie with three different types of chocolate. Chef Michelle has designed the dessert of our dreams, blending dark, milk, and white chocolate into a buttery cookie with crunchy walnuts. A sprinkle of sea salt provides a touch of elegance and the perfect counterpoint to the rich flavors.
- 12 packets unsalted butter
- 1 ounce walnuts
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/8 teaspoon Maldon sea salt
- 1 parchment paper
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Unwrap butter packets and place in a large bowl to soften at room temperature (we recommend at least 10 minutes). Alternatively, place butter in a large heatproof bowl and microwave in 10-second intervals until softened, but not melted. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roughly chop walnuts.
- 2. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to bowl with softened butter. Whisk vigorously until mixture is pale and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add vanilla and 1 egg and whisk until mixture is pale yellow and fully combined, 2 minutes more.
- 3. Fold flour, baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt into butter-sugar mixture until dough is just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts until evenly dispersed in the dough, being careful not to overmix.
- 4. Scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet. Arrange a large piece of plastic wrap over top of dough. Gently press and flatten dough into a disc, about ¼-inch thick. Then, remove plastic wrap from dough in a quick, fluid motion. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until edges are golden but center is still soft, 12-15 minutes.
- 5. Transfer triple-chocolate share cookie, still on parchment, to a clean, dry surface to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle Maldon sea salt over top. Cut into slices, if desired. Enjoy warm, with a scoop of ice cream, or add to tomorrow's packed lunch. Any unclaimed cookie can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
