Oh the chocolate chip cookie! I was hesitant to share a 3rd version of chocolate chip cookies with you all. My favorite type of cookie tends to be on the thick and chewy side. But there is just something about the crispy crunch of these buttery cookies that makes them so hard to resist.
Bake them for a minute or two less and you’ll have a slightly chewy cookie. A few minutes more and you’ll have a delightfully crunchy cookie!
When I set out to create this recipe I wanted a cookie that was thinner than your average chocolate chipper. Not thin in an ‘OMG my cookies spread’ kinda way, but in a delicate wafer-esque fashion. I envision these cookies being perfect for a nostalgic icebox cake or going for a dip in a hot cup of coffee! YUM!

Hi Sandra!
Thank you, so glad that you’ve enjoyed everything! I tend to prefer unbleached flour, but whatever you have on hand will work. When I do have the choice to be picky, I always gravitate towards King Arthur. Happy Baking! ~Dan
