Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Pan with Peanut Butter and Walnuts

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Hot and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies are one of the single things I just can’t resist. As soon as a tray of cookies comes out of the oven, even before the cookies begin to set completely, I always take one and eat it super-hot, when all the chocolate melts in my mouth.

This recipe is for giant chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies you bake in a pan. The result is a giant cookie you should serve hot, preferably with ice cream and hot chocolate fudge sauce. It’s the best decadent dessert for chocolate lovers.

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees and slightly grease the pans.
  2. In a bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment put butter, peanut butter, sugar, maple, salt and vanilla and whip at high speed until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Add egg and egg yolk and continue to whip until incorporated.
  4. Add flour, baking soda, chocolate and walnuts and mix just until slightly sticky dough is formed.
  5. Divide the dough to 3 portions and flatten into the pans.
