There is something special about a giant cookie that looks like it came straight from a professional bakery. These cookies are perfect for when you want a treat that feels a little extra fancy but is still easy enough to make in your own kitchen.

The secret to those gorgeous ripples is the pan banging technique. By dropping your baking sheet onto the oven rack halfway through, you create those lovely crinkled edges while the centers stay nice and soft.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cream the butter and both sugars together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Slowly mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks.

  5. 5

    Scoop the dough into large balls and place them on the baking sheets, leaving plenty of room for them to spread.

  6. 6

    Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the baking sheet and drop it onto the oven rack to create ripples.

  7. 7

    Continue baking for another 6 to 8 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving to a rack.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze the raw dough balls to bake a fresh cookie whenever you have a craving. If you want them extra warm, pop a cooled cookie in the microwave for ten seconds.
