I used my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and replaced the chocolate chips with dark chocolate kisses. I thought the dark chocolate kisses were the perfect jumbo version of the classic semisweet morsels in a regular cookie.
How perfect are these as giant chocolate chips for the giant chocolate chip cookies?!
Seriously, which would you choose?...
How cool is this giant cookie?
I mean, look at how thick this thing is! It has a sweet buttery flavor with a hint of vanilla. It has got a nice chewy, soft center with perfectly crisp edges, and is studded with those massive chunks of chocolate.
It is not at all cakey and substantial enough to really sink your teeth into. Serve it up with a glass of milk and you are all set!
I originally used this as part of my giant cookie ice cream sandwich and thought it woul dbe the perfect dessert for the family, on a special date, or even a XXL cookie all for yourself!
Look how big it is compared to mini cookies and regular size cookies!
You can serve it warm from the oven, or let it cool. This would also make the perfect gift. I mean, who wouldn't love receiving this ginormous cookie as a special present!

Press dough into a 7" wide disk on the the center of a parchment lined baking sheet. Arrange remaining 9 kisses on top, pressing into the dough slightly.
