Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie
A thin and crunchy chocolate chip cookie made with melted butter and corn syrup, baked until golden brown on the edges.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 169 g
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled, 113 g
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 g
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 67 g
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 170 g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt together in a medium bowl.
- Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and light corn syrup in a large bowl. Beat vigorously with a spatula until the mixture is uniform.
- Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat vigorously again until smooth.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually until just combined. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips gently. The dough will be loose and sticky.
- Scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets. Space the dough balls at least 2 1/2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The cookies are done when they are flat and golden brown. For food safety, baked goods containing eggs should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tap it firmly against the counter to deflate the cookies.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tapping the pan on the counter right after baking helps the cookies settle and creates a flatter, crunchier texture.
Baking one sheet at a time ensures even heat distribution and prevents the cookies from baking unevenly.
For food safety, baked goods containing raw eggs should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
