Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Indulge in these delightfully crispy chocolate chip cookies, reminiscent of a famous cookie brand. Featuring a perfect balance of brown and white sugar for that signature chew and crisp edge, packed with chocolate chips, and optionally topped with almonds.
Ingredients
- •130 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- •60 g Brown sugar
- •60 g Granulated sugar
- •1 tsp Vanilla extract
- •1 piece Egg yolk
- •155 g Low-protein flour ((or cake flour))
- •40 g Cornstarch
- •0.5 tsp Baking powder
- •0.5 tsp Baking soda
- •3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- •150 g Chocolate chips
- •50 g Almonds (chopped, optional, for topping or mixing in)
Instructions
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Time: 5 min - 2.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Time: 3 min - 3.
Beat in the vanilla extract, egg yolk, and vegetable oil until well combined and smooth.
Time: 2 min - 4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-protein flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda.
Time: 1 min - 5.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Time: 2 min - 6.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. If using almonds, you can fold them in now or save them for topping.
Time: 2 min - 7.
Scoop small, uniform balls of dough (about 1.5-2 cm in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them. For extra crispiness, you can flatten them slightly before baking. If using almonds for topping, gently press a few onto each cookie dough ball.
Time: 5 min - 8.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft. The cookies will crisp up more as they cool.
Time: 20 min - 9.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Time: 5 min
Tips
- 💡Using low-protein flour (like cake flour) and cornstarch helps achieve that signature crisp texture.
- 💡Don't overmix the dough once the flour is added; this can make the cookies tough.
- 💡For extra crunch, you can toast the almonds lightly before adding them.
- 💡Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain crispness.
