How to Make Giant Chocolate Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Beat in the shortening until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Using a 2 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 4 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
