Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy 4th of July!!

This photo is from last summer, but I thought that nothing says PARTY like an empty ice cream container on someones head!! Have a great day!

Now, onto the Cookies...

Here is another one from the June issue of Cooking Light. I've used that issue so much, I'm surprised it's not falling apart yet. And I must pat myself on the back for trying so many recipes from Cooking Light recently. Currently, it's the only food magazine I subscribe to and everything is always so good.


Naturally, when I saw a recipe for a lighter Chocolate Chip Cookie, I had to give it a try. I followed the recipe as written and got 8 large cookies from it. The cookies were soft and the teeniest bit on the cakey side for my liking. However, they did have a slightly crisp edge. And they are all gone, so we obviously liked them.


You can find the recipe for these Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies here, on the Cooking Light site!

They look so good, it's hard to believe they are healthier than other chocolate chip cookies. And an empty ice cream container on someones head definitely says, PARTY.

Your boys are too cute! The cookies look good, too. You definitely deserve a pat on the back for making so many CL recipes, I really should make more.

My cookies always turn out giant because of butter issues I have...and they end up all connected to each other too.

haha. I think that picture is a sign of things to come for those boys - watch out when they get into high school!

They are too cute for words :)

Those don't look light at all! I'm definitely interested in trying these.

Leslie said...

These look yummy, and decidedly not "light." I never think about CL when making desserts (which I should!) Thanks for sharing this one with us!

I love it when a magazine issue is packed with fabulous food! Cooking Light does a great job with their recipes, even if I think they are skimpy on their portion sizes. These cookies look delicious.
