The Our Best Bites Giant Cookies are legendary. The craze was born out of the pandemic of 2020 when I was stuck at home with 4 kids and baking projects were a fun way to pass the time. After my giant chocolate chip cookie went viral, I followed with giant cookies of every kind! These recipes all make a single HUGE cookie. They’re quick and easy, and most can be made with simply a bowl and a spoon. They’re excellent for gifting (we love using blank pizza boxes!) and never fail to make people smile!
Below you’ll find many useful resources, and links to my entire collection of big giant cookies. If you make one, post a photo on Instagram and tag me with the hashtag #obbgiantcookie for a chance to be featured!
Helpful Links
Pizza Boxes – I have found 10″ blank pizza boxes to be a great size for gifting giant cookies. Tie with a cute ribbon and attach one of my printables, or a gift tag on top. My kids love decorating the boxes with markers for a fun personal touch, or just use a sharpie and write right on it!
Printed Parchment or Deli Paper: If gifting in a pizza box, you’ll want to line it with parchment or waxed paper- something grease resistant. You can purchase cute printed deli papers which add an extra festive touch!
Cute Ribbon – This is one of my favorite brands of twill ribbon with so many fun design options.
Giant Spatula – I love an oversize pancake spatula for transferring cookies without breaking.
Printable templates – sometimes it helps to have a template so you know exactly how to shape the cookie. These slip under your parchment so you have a guide.
Labels – Here you’ll find links to a few of the various labels we’e shared from the giant cookie posts. You can also just attach a cute tag, or grab a sharpie and write directly on the pizza box!

These are the BEST! My teen has been making them for birthday treats for years. And we whip them up when we want to eat a warm cookie but not make an entire batch. Thanks so much!
I can’t tell you how many of the big giant cookies I have made for my grandchildren and husband in the last five years. They are a favorite baking project for young children and everyone has their own favorite recipe.
