Giant Funfetti Cookies
Looking for the perfect cookie? This is it! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, these crispy and chewy giant funfetti cookies are the best! I use a method called pan banging which is exactly what is sounds like and creates gorgeous ripples throughout the cookie. You will absolutely love these!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, large
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chunks*
- ½ cup sprinkles, classic jimmies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Reduce the speed to low and add in the egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
- Mix to combine.
- Turn off the mixer and add in the dry ingredients.
- Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until the dough comes together (it will be sticky).
- Take the bowl off the mixer, and pour in the chocolate chunks and sprinkles, and mix slowly with a spatula.
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Use an ice cream scooper to make even balls of dough and place 5 on each sheet, separated enough to allow them to spread — remember they are big!
- Place one cookie sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes, then bake for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, open the oven door, lift the cookie sheet and bang it hard on the oven rack. You can do this once or several times if you like.
- Bake for 2 more minutes — repeat banging.
- Bake for 2 more minutes again — repeat banging.
- Bake for the last two minutes, and remove from the oven.
Notes
*You need to use chocolate chunks not chips for this recipe. The chips are too heavy and don't spread well when baking. Either buy a bag of chunks or a large bar and chop them yourself.
