Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies have the ideal ratio between dough and chocolate chips. The edges are crisp while the center is flawlessly soft and chewy. Each bite is buttery, yet sweet, and then topped with sea salt flakes to create a perfectly balanced chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips/Chunks, plus extra for topping (optional)
- Sea Salt Flakes, optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, add in your softened butter and sugars
- Cream together with an electric hand mixer, or stand mixer, until fully combined
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy
- Add in half the flour
- Gently mix in to the batter
- Add the remaining flour, baking soda and baking powder
- Slowly mix into the dough until combined
- Add in the chocolate chips/chunks and fold until just spread throughout the dough
- Scoop about 1.5-2 tbsp of dough at a time using a cookie scoop. (roll into equal-sized balls if not using a cookie dough scooper)
- Place on the parchment paper, evenly spaced about 1-2 inches apart (I usually bake 6-8 cookies per tray depending on the size. I also bake one tray at a time for even baking)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are nicely golden but not a dark brown
- Repeat for any remains dough
- (Optional) After removing from the oven, immediately, press in some extra chocolate chips and sprinkle some sea salt flakes on top of each cookie
- Let the cookies sit on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
- Enjoy!
