If you love cookies the size of dinner plates and still want to feel like a responsible adult afterward, welcome to your new obsession. These Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies deliver molten, gooey centers, crisp edges, and a deep butter-toffee flavor — but with a few smart swaps so you can enjoy one (or two) without the sugar crash remorse. Think classic cookie soul with a healthier wardrobe.

Why giant?

More surface = more crisp edge and molten center contrast.
One big cookie feels like a treat and reduces the temptation to nibble through a whole batch.
Perfect for sharing (or dramatically Instagramming before you eat it).

The health-conscious twist I’m not turning cookie rules into kale rules. The goal is smarter ingredients that keep texture and flavor front and center.
