Maybe you've been in this situation before: You have some people over for a dinner party and at the end of the night there's one freshly baked cookie left on the tray, when, suddenly, your good friend—bless his or her soul, really—catches your eye. Maybe they just happen to be in kitchen for some other reason entirely? Maybe they just want to make small talk?
No, you both want that cookie. You begrudgingly break a cookie meant for one in half, because that's the kind of friend you are.
But what if we lived in an alternate reality, where cookies were actually meant for sharing?
That's the world that Australian cookbook author and magazine empire owner Donna Hay wants us to live in. Meet theChocolate Chunk Share Cookie.
Donna is no stranger to making food so delicious that people would fight over it—she's spent her entire career doing it. Through dozens of cookbooks, a decade of her namesake magazine, and several TV shows, she's created a style of food that's as simple and approachable as it is beautiful to look at.
Today, though, she just wants to make a gigantic warm cookie topped with ice cream and caramel sauce. After you watch Donna make one, take a crack at making the recipe Donna's recently released cookbookThe New Easyfor yourself.
