Thin, Buttery, and Irresistible: The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Get ready to indulge in a sweet treat that will satisfy your cravings! These thin, buttery cookies are reminiscent of chocolate chip tuiles, with a delicate texture that’s both crispy and chewy. With a yield of 48 cookies, you’ll want to make a full batch to share with friends and family.

The Perfect Combination of Ingredients

To create these mouthwatering cookies, you’ll need:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)

A Simple yet Effective Baking Process

Heat your oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Next, combine flour and salt in a small mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy and light, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, add the egg, and mix until just incorporated; then mix in vanilla extract.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and stir in the chocolate chips.

The Final Touches

Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoons, about 3 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. (Turn the baking sheets halfway through if the oven does not heat evenly.)

Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets, about 10 minutes. This will make them easier to remove and ensure they retain their delicate texture.
