Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Fix

My son and I were spending a lazy Sunday hanging around the house, baking bread & buns for this week's lunches, when we spotted giant chocolate chip cookies on the television screen. It was an episode of Unwrapped on the Food Network and it was all about desserts. They covered commercially-made desserts of all sorts, from cheesecake to rice pudding. Everything looked good, but my son and I both perked up at the sight of the giant chocolate chip cookies - so we hopped up and made one ourselves.

Not in the mood to be all that creative, we grabbed the chocolate chips and made the recipe on the back of the bag. Instead of spooning the dough into individual cookies or into a rectangular jellyroll pan, we spread the dough into a round pizza pan. Twenty minutes later, we had our giant chocolate chip cookie. No decorations or message written in icing; just a down and dirty chocolate chip cookie. And it was delicious.
