One giant snickerdoodle cookie is guaranteed to curb any cookie craving you might have. It’s six inches big and there is enough to share, if you want.
I have made more than my share of Snickerdoodle cookies over the years. It was the favorite cookie of one of my son’s and his group of friends and there was a always a batch or two coming out of the oven when they were hanging out at our house.
I no longer have groups of teenagers hanging out eating cookies at my house but I still enjoy a sugary cinnamon Snickerdoodle now and then.
That’s where this giant snickerdoodle cookie recipe comes in handy.
When that cookie craving hits I don’t want two dozen cookies hanging around. My self control is somewhat lacking. Being able to make one giant, single serve cookie has been life changing!! Within about 20 minutes I can have a fresh baked cookie, right out of the oven that is the perfect amount for myself and enough to share with Jim.
Sometimes I make it and hide half for later, please don’t tell my husband.

Tips
- Measure your ingredients carefully. A little too much or not enough of something can make a big difference in small batch recipes.
- If you prefer, you can make your one giant cookie into two smaller cookies. Baking time may vary.
- I always mix my small batch cookies by hand in a bowl. You could also use a hand mixer.
- Press the dough down into a 3-4 inch disc before baking.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the cookie.

So incredibly easy to make and it tastes wonderful It makes a great soft cookie. For my personal preference, I will divide the dough into four cookies next time for thinner, crispier, chewier cookies next time.
