There’s so many versions of The Chocolate Chip Cookie. Chunky, Soft, Crunchy and Crisp all make up the many variations of the wonderful cookie. This version is thin, light and crispy.
If you’re familiar with the brand Tate’s they’re known for a thin and crisp cookie and this recipe is very similar. I think it’s even better haha!
The way to achieve the thin and crisp cookie is through technique and ingredients. Most traditional soft cookies will have a high quantity of brown sugar to white sugar but, for thin & crisp we do the opposite. Brown sugar results in a softer cookie because of the increased amount of liquid. So, a larger quantity of granulated sugar will give us a crisper texture. Milk is added in to provide additional crispness. Coffee is a flavor enhancer to chocolate so that bumps up all the chocolatey flavor in this cookie. Whether you have a preference of Soft, Chunky or Crisp you should definitely give this recipe a try!
In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook stirring constantly until the butter is browned and nutty smelling. This should take about 6-7 minutes.
Set up an ice bath in a bowl and place the pot of butter on top. Stir the butter until it’s completely cool and has re-solidified. The butter should still be soft.
Add in all 3 sugars and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
Add in the egg, milk, coffee and vanilla and mix for a full 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and just bring it together. Then, fold in all the chocolate.
Cover the bowl with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop 2 tablespoonful rounds of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Make sure to leave the cookie dough at least 3 inches apart from each other.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
Sprinkle the cookies with Fleur de Sel if using. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet since they will be delicate. Enjoy!
