crispy chocolate chips

I finally found a chocolate chip cookie that comes out of the oven crisp! In a recent episode of America’s Test Kitchen, they were demonstrating Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies. The difference between this recipe and traditional Toll House is the use of cake flour, melted butter, egg yolks and a bit of milk. Since this was the first time, I was making these cookies, I decided to make my own cake flour by swapping out 2 tablespoons of flour for cornstarch. I debated purchasing mini chips, but opted to chopped regular chips. I didn’t want to purchase new ingredients for just one recipe that I may not prepare again. However, the cookies came out as the name said, crisp. I did find them not as sweet as Toll House. My husband likened these to a Chips Ahoy Cookie. I’m still debating whether to make this recipe again

From the TV show “America’s Test Kitchen” on public TV

INGREDIENTS
1 ¼ cups (5 ounces) cake flour
¾ teaspoon table salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Note that this recipe calls for cake flour and mini (not full-size) chocolate chips.
 
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda together in bowl.

 
 

1. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on low speed until fully combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is lightened in color, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low; add egg yolks, milk, and vanilla; and mix until combined. Slowly add flour mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down bowl as needed. Using rubber spatula, stir in chocolate chips.

 

1. Using greased 1-tablespoon measure, divide dough into 16 heaping-tablespoon portions on prepared sheets, 8 portions per sheet. Divide any remaining dough evenly among portions. Using your moistened fingers, press dough portions to ½-inch thickness. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until deep golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheet for 20 minutes. Serve. (Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
