Recipe Introduction


Unlike traditional, moist chewy cookies, this recipe produces very flat and crisp chocolate-chip cookies. They will spread a great deal on the pan while baking. If cookies harden before you have a chance to remove them from the baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven for a few seconds to soften the dough for easier removal.


List of Ingredients




1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for baking sheets

3 cups packed light-brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 cups best-quality chocolate chips


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line two baking sheets with Silpat baking mats or parchment; set aside. Cream butter until smooth; add sugars, and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Into a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Slowly beat dry ingredients into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.

2. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons dough per cookie onto prepared baking sheets; space dough at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets, and allow to cool on baking racks.
