Simple XXXL Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

We have all a soft spot for chocolate chip cookies. They come in all sorts of varieties and types. From chewy to crunchy to multiple flavors of chocolate all immersed into one cookie. You may think you have seen it all but what would you say if I told you there's still one cookie you may not know of.
Presenting the XXXL chocolate chip cookie: a single serving of scrumptious chocolate chip heaven.
These cookies are the perfect way to satisfy your hunger with a cold glass of milk. The best thing about them is that consuming one does the trick. They're ready in less than 20 minutes and the oversized factor is definitely the best way to enjoy them.

This recipe is almost similar to any chocolate cookie recipe but with a few additions of this or a few additions of that. IT consists of the normal flour butter, cocoa, white and brown sugars, baking soda and an egg. And of course, it's loaded with chocolate chips. Be careful when using the egg though since you need to beat a whole egg and then use 2 tablespoons from it. Also, the ingredients are mixed by hand instead of by an electric mixer. This recipe is perfect for fulfilling that intense chocolate craving.
Watch your cookie closely while it bakes so as to prevent it from burning. The cookie should take about 8-10 minutes. I prefer to take the cookies out a little early so that the final result is a soft chewy cookie. The edges are chewy, the inside gooey making the entire seem like a chocolate brownie inside a cookie.
To make XXXL you shall need the following:
Ingredients:
· 2 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
· 2 tbsp granulated sugar
· 2 tbsp light brown sugar
· 2 tbsp beaten egg
· ½ tsp vanilla

2. Take a medium bowl and cream the butter and sugars with a fork. Then add the egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Fold in ¼ cup of the chocolate chips.
