- Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between the giant cookies to allow for spreading during baking. Refrigerate the dough balls for 1 hour. Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake the chilled cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these giant chocolate stuffed cookies warm with a gooey chocolate center. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days and preheat them lightly for the center to melt again. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Baked cookies can be stored for 3 to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months by allowing them to cool and transfer them to an airtight container. Thaw the cookies at room temperature and warm them lightly in the oven before enjoying them.
