Biggest error I see is you overcrowded the pan.

Did you follow a recipe and its instructions?

Really just looks like you overcrowded the pan, heat might have been a little off considering the edges appear burnt but the tops are so pale. Seems salvagable (read: edible) atleast

You’re fine, it’s just one big cookie now

Overcrowded pan and I think dough was too wet. Possibly too much butter. Or oven was too hot.
When making dough, cream the butter and sugar, and I mean cream it!! Two minutes with an electric mixer, get it pale and fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Add vanilla. Mix your dries separately, and then hand mix the wet and dry bowls together. You don’t want to overwork it, it’ll make your cookies tough. You want it somewhere between scone dough and bread dough, meaning not having big patches of flour, but also not being smooth and so well incorporated that there’s no texture. Chill dough for an hour at least, then scoop the balls and drop them on the pan.
For added texture, I cream the butter and white sugar, but I add brown sugar in with the dry- keeps the granules from melting in the butter and gives the tiniest bit of crunch.
When you try again, change one thing at a time so that you can identify the issue!

Makes it not a lie when you say you only had one cookie. I see no problem.

One or multiple of 3 mistakes I can think of that resulted in this: 1. The pan is too small 2. Too large of scoops of dough 3. The dough might have needed a bit of time in the fridge to firm up to help avoid spreading as it cooked
Otherwise, those look like some amazing cookies

I’d still tear those cookies up yessir 😛

They look great , you just didn’t space them out far enough
sirprize_surprise
That’s the wrong pan for making cookies. You want the largest flattest surface as possible. The edges of that look beveled and deep. You can probably only get 2 rows of cookies instead of 3. Sometimes chilling the dough helps but that’s the wrong pan and it is over crowded.

Don’t be sad you did a good job making an extra large chocolate cookie!

Nah! They look great to me. I’d eat them. But I’d probably eat a cookie I just dropped on the floor too(at my house). 👀😅

Looks good. Maybe a bit too much butter?

you made one big chocolate chip cookie and you no longer need to share, and this counts as a single serving so no guilt later

looks like you’ll have to make another batch after eating this one.
in the tech world, it’s all about being iterative, testing, QAing.

I’d surgically remove one and eat it personally
