Baking instructions for giant chocolate chip cookie?

Question

I want to bake a giant chocolate chip cookie in a rectangular cookie pan (10.5" x 16.5") using store bought dough. My plan is to bake them on the soft side so I can use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. I'm unsure of how long to bake it and at what temperature so that it gets cooked through in the middle without burning at the edges. Anyone done this before and have any tips?

All the recipies I've found have said the dough should be 1/8 - 1/4" thick. The recipies were all for round pans though, so the baking temps and times didn't help much.

I don't want a bar cookie, I want it the consistency of a cookie pizza, just rectangular as opposed to round.

I have plenty of recipies for round pans, what I'm looking for is cooking time and temperature for a 10.5 x 16/5" standard jelly roll pan.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I don't do how thick you're going to make your cookie, brownie thickness? It sounds like you need to cook them as the same but keep a close eye on it. As with brownies over cooking the outside I put a strip of foil about 2 inches in around my brownies and that keeps them eveny cooked. Good Luck

Answer 2

Good luck. Maybe you'll invent a new way to do it. I do a lot of chocolate chip cookies and I pack mine with chocolate chips and walnuts. For this reason and possibly also because of the type of dough, I've noticed that the cookies are extremely fragile and when baked, have a tendency to crumble (plus lose the nuts and chocolate chips that are disturbed) if handled before they are cooled to a certain point.

Maybe bar cookies if you separate them when they've cooled a little and cut with a very sharp knife. But I don't know how you can do that without damaging your metal cookie sheets with the knife scratches and other marks. Maybe glass or Corning bakeware?

I can only suggest: Try to make sure the dough has been pressed into the same thickness throughout your pan. to try and control potential problem of uneven cook time required. Check the bake time on the recipe. Preheat the oven. Halfway through the bake time, turn your cookie sheet. When the cookie is lightly browned on top, they are probably done.

Answer 4

You are basically making a bar cookie then (which is what you end up with if you press them into a baking pan as opposed to dropping them by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet). Most cookie recipes have alternative baking times for bar cookies, so you might want to check on a Nestle Toll House cookie recipe on your chocolate chip bag. Do not use a dark pan, or the bottoms will brown faster. Be sure your oven is set at the proper temperature and put pan in the middle of the oven. The racks should be in the middle as well. Most cookie recipes call for a 375 degree oven. Your standard bar cookie can take about 15 minutes or more....you'll need to eyeball it though.

Spread in greased 14 inch round pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes. Cool cookie in pan on a cooling rack. Decorate as desired.

Answer 7

Okay, I have this recipe in one of my cookbooks:
After you've made the dough, SPLAT the dough out into a 5-inch round on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat with any remaining dough and bake according to directions.

I guess all you have to do is make sure you keep an eye on the dough and evenly spread it in your pan so it bakes at the same rate throughout.

Answer 8

i think the best way to go it roll it out, use your cookie cutters and then bake them. it will be more work when they are hot because they will split and fall apart when trying to cut them whether you use a knife or cookie cutter. cut them first, bake according to directions and you will have perfect cookies. good luck
