By 11650

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick cold butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk (whole milk always recommended)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips or a combination of chocolate chips, nuts and/or Unreal M&M knockoffs
• Homemade whipped cream and berries (optional) for decorating
• SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 12 to 13″ round pizza baking pan and a whipped cream dispenser like this or this. The pictured white serving platter (above) is available here.

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3.In a large bowl fitted with an electric whisk cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. Lastly, continue beating on low speed while carefully pouring in the flour mixture. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
4.Using a spatula or large spoon stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
5.Carefully spread out the cookie dough onto the round baking pan. Take a few minutes to ensure one nice, even layer.
6.Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or a light golden brown on top.
7.Let cookie cake cool almost completely before gently sliding/pushing it onto a large round platter. Or if you’d rather be safe than sorry just leave it on the round pizza pan.
8.Just before serving cover the outside edge with a pretty strip of homemade whipped cream and then add your child’s first initial or age in the middle. It might help to practice on an empty plate first. Good luck (and enjoy)!
