XL Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Updated November 3, 2026

These oversized bakery-style cookies feature massive chocolate chunks, crispy golden edges, chewy centers, and a finishing touch of flaky sea salt. They're the ultimate indulgent chocolate chip cookie that delivers on every bite.

Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week before serving. For even larger cookies, use 1/3 cup portions and bake 4 per sheet, adding 2-3 minutes to bake time.

Can be frozen unbaked: portion dough, freeze on sheet, then transfer to freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 2 minutes.
