Ingredients
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a 14-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and vanilla extract together for about 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, pressing gently to cover the entire surface.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the giant cookie to cool completely on the pan before cutting into bars or decorating as desired.
Comments
All ingredients are staples at every Charlotte grocer—butter, brown sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and chocolate chips run $8 to $10 total, working out to about 70 cents per serving. The stated 50 minutes is honest if you count cooling; active prep is closer to 15 minutes. This is genuinely fuss-free and forgiving, a sheet-pan dessert that doesn't demand constant attention, though it's best eaten warm the same day since reheating dries it out. It's a solid crowd-pleaser for families, but the lack of any seasonal or regional angle and the single-use nature (not a leftover dish) keep it from being exceptional.
