Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
For Icing:
- Blue, red, and yellow food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Shape the Artist Palette:
- On the prepared baking sheet, shape the cookie dough into an artist palette, forming a large circular shape with a rounded bottom and a thumbhole at the top, resembling the shape of a palette.
- Use your fingers or a spoon to create a slight indentation in the center to resemble the area where the paint would be on a palette.
4. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center may still be slightly soft.
5. Prepare Icing:
- While the cookie is cooling, prepare the icing. Divide the powdered sugar into three bowls.
- In each bowl, add a few drops of food coloring (blue in one, red in another, and yellow in the third). Add 1 tablespoon of milk to each bowl and mix until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
6. Decorate:
- Once the cookie has cooled, use the colored icing to create splots of “paint” on the palette, resembling an artist’s work.
7. Serve:
- Allow the icing to set before slicing and serving the Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie.
This delightful and artistic cookie is not only delicious but also visually appealing. It’s a perfect treat for art enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates a creative dessert. Enjoy your edible masterpiece!
