Kendra Schlachter got this jumbo cookie recipe from her grandmother. A favorite memory is how she would make one of these cookies for each of the grandkids on their birthdays each year.

Jumbo Cookie

    1/2 cup margarine
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    3 teaspoons white sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 large egg
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1-1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, M&Ms or nuts (your choice!)
    
    At medium speed, beat margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla and egg. Beat until creamy. Blend in the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips or other toppings, leaving 1/2 cup for the top. Chill dough for 1 1/2 hours.
    Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Place dough in pan and press evenly within 1 1/2-inch from edge. Sprinkle additional toppings. Bake at 325 F for 30-35 minutes.
