Ingredients:
- 200 grams of salted butter
- 200 grams of white sugar
- 85 grams of brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 280 grams of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 200 grams of chocolate (100 grams of chocolate chips and 100 grams of high-quality dark chocolate, above 60%)
- Start by whisking together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract vigorously by hand for about a minute.
- Incorporate the egg into the mixture and continue to whisk for another minute.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Then, mix in the chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough into 12 equal portions and place them on a tray. Freeze these dough balls for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat your fan oven to 175°C. Line an oven tray with parchment paper and space out the cookie dough balls, ensuring ample room for them to spread.
- Bake the cookies for 5 minutes initially. Remove the tray from the oven and slam it against the countertop 4-5 times to help the cookies spread and crinkle. Return to the oven and repeat the slamming process every 3-5 minutes, for a total baking time of 13-15 minutes.
- Once done, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on the hot cookies. Allow them to cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy these delectable Thin Crinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies, a perfect blend of textures that makes each bite a delightful experience!
