So thin and crispy cookies just like this one are hugely popular and I never really knew
why. So I got into the BBB kitchen I started testing recipes. Now don't get me wrong,
I was always ride or die, chewy cookie, gooey in the middle, all that yumminess. However,
after testing these recipes, I have to say that I think I've been swayed to thin and crispy.
So this isn't a traditional cookie dough recipe, usually you cream the butter or you melt
the butter, we're doing something a little bit different here to get you that thin and crispy
results. So I'm going to make mine in a food processor. Don't worry, you can do this step all
by hand without a food processor. And I'm going to put that information on my website along with the
recipe. So into my food processor, I'm going to add in my dry ingredients, my flour, white sugar,
brown sugar, because every good chocolate chip cookie has to have brown sugar in
there for those lovely caramel tones, some baking soda, and of course, my favorite,
salt. So I've started using a lot of sea salt in my baking because it has big
granules. And you get the lovely little surprise by use of salt as you eat your baked goods. And
you can use table salt that's totally up to you. It's going to give those a little stir around.
Now into our dry ingredients, we're going to add in our cold cubes butter
and then on with our hash. Now here's what makes this cookie dough different. We're going to pull
this up until the butter resembles kind of fine bread crumbs, we're not going to cream
it we're not going to melt the butter like you would normally see in a cookie dough.
So just give it a quick place only takes a few seconds. Like
I said you can do this by hand using your fingers or a pastry blender.
And that's all it takes. Now we're just gonna add in the rest of our ingredients. So a little
separate bowl over here I'm going to crack in my egg, and I'm going to add in my vanilla
extract. Extract is so important when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. Probably my favorite
thing about a chocolate chip cookie that's on the chocolate and the salt and the gooeyness
then just pour that into your food processor and blend it onto your dough starts to come together.
Okay, so this is looking good. Lastly, I'm going to add in my
bittersweet chocolate chunks. Check that out. I got a big bar of 72% cocoa solids,
chopped it up nice and big, nice and small. I'm going to throw that in there.
So there you go. Your dough only takes a few seconds to come together. And this is what
it looks like and have on I got a lot of raw cookie dough. So here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna pop this into a bowl and then get it into the fridge let it chill for around an hour
just so it's easier to scoop. So our dough was chilled. I've got my tray ready to go
here is the secret about these cookies. Don't make the same mistake that I did.
You want to scoop a level tablespoon and when I say level I mean level I am always tempted
to do a big scoop of cookie dough. But these guys spread out a lot so a level tablespoon
onto your tray. Give them a lot of space in between each cookie just a few on the tray
and then you'll be golden. I'm going to go crazy today and scoop two trays of cookies because
this cookie dough makes around 45 to 50 cookies and just make sure put them in the palm of your
hands and round them out. Okay lovely cookies are fantastic. They have all of the space that they
need. They're not going to bake into each other fingers crossed. Let's pop these guys into the
oven. So bake our thin and crispy cookies off a 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius
for 15 minutes. Don't worry about over baking these we want them to be lovely and crisp.
After 15 minutes your cookies will look just like this golden brown all over. As
you can see we are really thin which is what they're supposed to be. They have this lovely
crinkles around the top just is lovely cookie ripples. So be patient for five minutes that
your cookies cooled down and get crisp once your cookies have cooled down snap and enjoy
oh my gosh, so crispy. Let me know in the comments below whether you are team
crispy or team chewy and if you are team chewy I did manage to convince
you that you can definitely check out my chewy cookies. You want to watch closely
because they have a secret ingredients. I'll see you back here again really soon.
