Giant Valentine’s Day Cookie
One giant chocolate cookie covered in candy.
Ingredients
- 30 grams (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 45 grams (1/4 cup) brown sugar
- 15 grams (1 tablespoon) caster sugar
- 1/2 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 65 grams (1/3 cup + 2 level tablespoons) plain flour
- 7 grams (1 tablespoon) cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 45 grams (1/4 cup) chocolate chips, plus extra for decorating
- 45 grams (1/4 cups) pink and purple Smarties or M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line a cookie sheet with baking or parchment paper.
- Melt your butter in the microwave until just melted. Add brown sugar and caster sugar and give it a stir. Add egg and vanilla and stir.
- Add plain flour, cocoa powder and baking soda and stir until it starts to form a chocolate dough. Then stir through chocolate chips.
- Place the dough on your cookie sheet and spread it out to form one large flat cookie – roughly 6 inches in diameter.
- Press extra chocolate chips and candy on top. Bake for approximately 12 minutes. Leave to cool completely.
Notes
*To get half a large egg, crack one large egg in a small bowl. Beat with a fork and then halve it. The best way to determine exactly half is by weighing the egg. Our large eggs are approximately 50 grams so I used 25 grams of egg.

Is the cookie dough supposed to come out sticky?
Jessica Holmes says
Yes it will be sticky, but just use a spatula to flatten it out and it’ll bake up beautifully.
Megan says
Now that’s my kind of cookie.

So glad you enjoyed it Josh!
Lisa says
Better than doing the 1/2 an egg thing, simply double the recipe, use a whole egg, make TWO large cookies. Give one to your valentine and keep one for yourself. .

Great idea Lisa! I love it! ☺️
