Hi Liz, here are some great cookie recipes that
I have used .They come from...
" Mrs.Witty's MOnster Cookies". They all are for
making LARGE cookies..from 9" - 6" - 3"...any size
you want. I hope these help and I hope you sell them
all!!

BIG Sugars
1 cup unsalted butter,room temperature (I use margarine)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar ( packed)
2 large egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp.salt
about 2 tsp. water, if needed
coarse or regular sugar, for coating

Preheat oven to 400°F.Grease cookie sheets.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer ,cream
the butter until soft.Then gradually add the sugars
and beat until fluffy.Add the egg yolks one at a time,
beating well after each addition.Stir in the vanilla.
Sift together the flour,baking powder and salt.
Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture to
make a smooth dough. If dough seems too dry, add up to
2 tsp. water, working it in thoroughly.
Wrap dough and chill if needed.
For 7" monsters..measure out a level 1/3 cup dough,
roll in sugar,coating well. Place on prepared cookie sheet, flatten slightly with your hand , then further flatten with the bottom of a glass pie plate dipped
in sugar ; press until cookie measures 5 1/2".Bake these large cookies in center of preheated oven for about 7-8 minutes, or until centers have puffed and fallen and the edges are golden brown.
For 3" cookies ,measure out the dough by rounded
Tablespoonfuls, roll in sugar, coating well.PLace on prepared cookie sheets ; flatten to 2" diameter
with the flat bottom of a measuring cup.Bake these
cookies for 5-6 minutes, or until cookies have puffd and fallen and are golden brown.
These are great!!
