Joao’s nieces are the cutest things ever: they’re 3 and 2 and they call me “aunt Patricia” – I love it! :)
I wanted to bake them some cookies and used a recipe from this blog.
The cookies turned out delicious but they were so huge the girls could barely hold them with their tiny little hands…
I used a 1 ½ tablespoon to drop the dough on the baking sheets and got 8cm cookies – you can bake them smaller if you want.
Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
280g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
170g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
220g (1 cup) packed brown sugar - mine was dark, the original cookies look a lot better
100g (½ cup) white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
340g (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat the oven to 165ºC/325ºF. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.
Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 7cm apart.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the edges are lightly toasted.
Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Makes 38-40 cookies

The cookies look so very good. But after reading about how big the cookies were in the little girls hands, they all seem to have little fingers on them - in my minds eye. Beautiful photo but your words also painted a lovely picture too.
Kristen, I love them. Since I don't have kids, they kind of fulfill my love for children - we have so much fun together!!
I've been thinking about something special to make for them for Easter. I'll let you know!

Hi, Anonymous,
I'm so glad to hear that - thank you for letting me know how they turn out!
I make this cookie for my classes all the time, and they absolutely love them! (Or, they're sucking up for a better grade) I swap some of the chocolate chips for frozen blueberries. :)
Hey, anonymous! What a wonderful idea to use blueberries - yum! Tks for letting me know how the recipe turned out!
