This recipe creates a giant, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookie that's perfect for sharing.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture and beat until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and pudding mix.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookie tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for presentation.
Spread the dough evenly onto a lightly greased pizza pan.
Use a spatula to smooth out the surface for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Check the cookie a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
Cooling allows the cookie to set and makes it easier to slice.
Decorate the cooled cookie as desired using a piping bag or other decorations.
Get creative with your decorations to make it festive.
