Giant Cookie

This is both Zoey and Deacon's favorite FHE treat.  They think it is so much fun to eat a cookie that is bigger than their heads.  It's another recipe from melskitchencafe.com.  She has such delicious recipes.

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and butter. Add the egg and vanilla and mix. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Line a large (11X17-inch) baking pan with foil and press the cookie into a circle. I press my cookie into a 9-inch circle, about 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick. 

If desired, top the cookie with M&M's or any other garnishes. Bake for 13-16 minutes until the cookie is lightly golden brown. Let the cookie cool completely on the baking pan - this helps the cookie stabilize and set so it can be easily lifted off the pan. Once cool, gently use the foil to lift the cookie off the pan.

Or just eat it straight off the pan, like we usually do.

Recipes

I love to cook. I love to bake. As a family, we love to eat. Everyone has a lot of favorite recipes but it is really hard to keep track of all of them as I try to cook new meals every night and only repeat the very favorites once in a while. So, in an attempt to find a solution to this problem, I am starting a blog. When we have made it through all of the cookbooks, websites, etc... I will be able to print this into a family cookbook for everyone in our little family.

Why, might you ask, do I call it the Three Little Bears Cafe? Because we call our kids the three little bears. They are bears, really. Zo Bear, Deac Bear, and Griff Bear. This blog is for them and their future children so they will be able to cook their favorite meals for their own families.

So here we go.... wish me luck.
