Giant Chocolate Sugar Cookies (Pg 163)

I know it's hard to tell what size these are from the picture, but I'll give you a hint. They're not "giant."

My lovely friend Amy joined me for a day of baking and we had already made a couple of batches of cookies. I was winding down for the day, as I tend to do, but Amy was on some sort of sugar rush and insisted on making another batch of cookies, so I let her pick one. This is what she picked. 

I was happy with her choice. These looked mighty tasty, and hello, they're chocolate and we all know how I feel about chocolate. So we happily whipped up a batch. And honestly, there's not much to say. It was pretty much...uneventful. It was a chocolate cookie.

The recipe says the yield will be 8 cookies. That's because they're giant, but as I said, these were not. I just didn't feel like making giant cookies, so I made them normal size, and guess how many it made? 41. Yeah. I'm sure a giant cookie is nice sometimes but I'd rather have a normal size cookie and I'd rather have 41 cookies to give away because that way I can give 10 cookies to each person, or something along those lines. After all I cannot eat so many cookies, whether it's 8 giant ones or 41 regular size ones, so they get given away.


Yield:
Recipe predicts: 8.
Actual:  41.
