Large Pan Cookie

Volume

1 large cookie (size of pan), approximately 1L or up to 5 cups in volume

Ingredients

- The original recipe has been picked up from Nadiya's Time to Eat (Episode : Sweet & Easy) on Netflix. The specifics of proportions have then been adapted from foodal .
- 3/4 cup or 150g unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 3/4 cup brown sugar (or a total of 5/4 cup of any sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 tsp baking soda or 3 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- pack of gems (volume of choice)
- vanilla ice cream (~500ml)

Other Requirements

- Large pan (widest base possible) with side walls at least 1 inch high
- Very low flame stove
- 2 vessels for mixing

Steps to Prepare

1. Prepare ingredients

  1. Break the large egg. Add 2 tsp of vanilla extract and mix together thoroughly. These are our wet ingredients.

  2. Mix the flour, bicarbonate soda and salt in another vessel. Mix thoroughly, so that they are uniformly spread. These are the dry ingredients.

2. Make cookie dough

  1. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Ensure that the flame is on the lowest level possible for the entire duration of cooking.

  2. Add the sugar as the butter melts. Mix thoroughly and ensure a single consistency.

  3. Add the dry ingredients to the pan and mix. Ensure that the flour mixture and the butter-sugar mix are evenly mixed together. The final mixture should be a dry, thick paste.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the thick paste and mix them together over the low flame. This final, moister mixture is the cookie dough. Spread it out evenly across the pan.

3. Bake cookie

  1. Add gems to the cookie dough and spread it out evenly across the cookie.

  2. Allow the cookie to slowly cook on a low flame for 20 minutes. In case the flame is too strong, and the base begins to burn, turn off the flame. The cookie dough should still rise over a longer period of time. Once the cookie has cooled a little bit, the surface should be a little bit hard. Put a toothpick/fork in to check if the dough is still runny, or if the baking is done.

Serve along with vanilla ice cream, and enjoy the cookie.
