INGREDIENTS FOR A SINGLE-SERVE FUNFETTI COOKIE

To make this cookie, gather your ingredients. Here's your grocery list:

• All-purpose flour

• Baking powder

• Unsalted butter

• Egg yolk

• Vanilla + almond extract

• Sprinkles

MAKING THE GIANT FUNFETTI COOKIE

This giant single-serve cookie comes together in just a few simple steps. Here's what you'll do to make the dough:

Step 1: Mix together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add in the egg yolk, vanilla extract and almond extract, and mix to combine. 

Step 2: Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until the dough starts to forms. Lastly, fold in the sprinkles.

Step 3: Form the dough into one big round ball. *Note: you can absolutely make this recipe into two larger cookies instead of one giant cookie, you will just have to cut back the baking time slightly. Dip or roll the top of the ball of dough in more sprinkles, if desired. Place it in the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Pop it into a preheated 350°F oven, and bake for 18-20 minutes. Allow the cookie to cool for about 5-10 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack. Then, you can let it cool completely or enjoy it warm!

WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS COOKIE

Aside from the fact that it is a giant chocolate chip cookie the size of your face, there are other things that make this recipe a great one!

No mixer required! Since this cookie dough is made with melted butter, you don't need to cream together the butter and sugar! So because of that, this is a super easy recipe to make by hand with just a whisk.

There's no chill time needed. Once this cookie dough is made, it can go directly into the oven with no fridge time needed. You'll have a perfectly baked cookie before you know it! However, if your dough is too warm from the melted butter, you can pop the dough into the fridge for about 10 minutes; just long enough to form the dough into a ball.

It's the perfect size for 1-2 people! Sometimes, I just don't want to be bothered with making a whole batch of cookies and storing the leftovers. This giant chocolate chip cookie is the solution. It's basically a single serving cookie that's perfect to cure the sweet tooth of one to two people!

TIPS FOR THE BEST GIANT SINGLE-SERVE FUNFETTI COOKIE

While this recipe is pretty straight forward and simple to make, here are a few tips to make sure you get the best giant cookie possible!

♦ Top it with more sprinkles! You can never have to make sprinkles, right? Even though this giant cookie is loaded with sprinkles, I highly recommend rolling the cookie dough in more sprinkles before baking for a little something extra!

♦ Don't over bake the cookie. Like most cookies, over baking can cause your cookie to be too hard and dry. Be sure not to bake it much longer than the time called for-- it will continue to cook on the hot baking sheet for a few minutes once you pull it out of the oven.
