Crispy around the edges, chewy and chocolaty in the middle, and thin, oh so thin. My 'secret' formula has been adapted from Alton Brown's famous, 'The Thin' recipe, and is fairly foolproof.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups all-purpose flour: 2 piece
  • ¼ teaspoons kosher salt: 1 piece
  • baking soda: 1 tsp
  • unsalted butter, very soft: 1 cup
  • white sugar: 1 cup
  • light brown sugar: 0.5 cup
  • egg: 1 piece
  • milk: 2 Tbsp
  • ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract: 1 piece
  • semisweet chocolate chips: 2 cups
