Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies I’ve ever made. These cookies steal my heart above all others I’ve made to date! I always thought I was a soft and kind of chewy kind of chocolate chip person, that is until my first bite of one of these. The cookies have a buttery, almost caramelized flavor to them.

I froze a few after baking and discovered they are great right from the freezer after they set a few minutes. They would be great with a scoop of ice cream in between 2 of them.

One of the things that make these cookies so thin is that you are going to melt the butter to start with and then let it almost cool before making your cookies. The cookies are going to really spread so be careful how many you put on a pan. I do 6 on a regular pan and 8 on a half sheet pan. I also line the pan with parchment paper so that the cookies will come right off of the pan.

I bake these cookies at 325 because that seems to be best for baking cookies in my oven. If you bake them at 350 I would start checking them at 8 minutes. I’m guessing they will bake in 10 minutes at 350 but every oven is different.
