"The Immaculate Baking Company baked the world's largest chocolate chip cookie, weighing 40,000 pounds and measuring 8,120 feet long and nearly 102 feet wide, setting a Guinness World Record."
"Planning for the colossal cookie took eight months, involving recipe testing, material acquisition, and the creation of a Big Oven designed specifically for the baking event."
"The innovative Big Oven featured a base of gravel and aluminum, along with a heat-trapping polyester cover and over 20 heaters to maintain a baking temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit."
"Each portion of dough was mixed in 80-pound batches and shaped into half-inch thick, square foot-wide slabs, which were frozen until they were ready to bake."
On May 17, 2003, the Immaculate Baking Company baked a record-setting chocolate chip cookie weighing 40,000 pounds and measuring 8,120 feet long. The project aimed to raise funds for a museum for the Folk Artist's Foundation. After eight months of careful planning, the company built a custom Big Oven, capable of cooking the massive cookie. The baking process involved mixing cookie dough in 80-pound batches, shaped into slabs and frozen until baking. Over 20 heaters maintained the baking temperature, successfully achieving the culinary milestone.
