Move over, macarons, there's a new sheriff in town – and it's packing some serious dough. Giant cookies, those ooey-gooey behemoths that are more like personal pizzas than traditional treats, are taking the baking world by storm.

These aren't your grandma's chocolate chips, mind you. We're talking gourmet creations with flavor profiles that explode in your mouth, and fillings that would make Willy Wonka jealous. Think salted caramel and pretzel, peanut butter and banana, even red velvet and cream cheese.

And the best part? You don't even have to leave your couch to get your hands on these giants. Many bakeries are hopping on the online ordering bandwagon, shipping their cookies directly to eager customers nationwide. No wonder some shops have waiting lists that stretch longer than a conga line at a wedding.

So, who gets the gold medal for starting this delicious trend? Well, that honor goes to Levain Bakery, a New York City institution that's been slinging these hefty cookies since 1995. Their signature chocolate chip cookie, with its gooey center and crispy edges, is the stuff of legend (and Instagram feeds).
But Levain is just the tip of the iceberg. Bakeries across the country are getting creative with their own giant cookie concoctions. So, next time you have a sweet tooth that won't quit, skip the store-bought Oreos and seek out one of these giants. You won't be disappointed (unless, of course, you try to eat the whole thing yourself – we wouldn't recommend that).
So, there you have it – the big cookie trend in all its glory. Now go forth and get your bake on!
Just a few tips for enjoying your giant cookie:
- Share it with friends (or not, we won't judge).
- Heat it up in the microwave for a gooey treat.
- Dunk it in a glass of milk (or, for the adventurous, a glass of red wine).
- Savor every bite – these cookies are meant to be enjoyed slowly.
Happy baking (and eating)!
