How do I make Chewy Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Add flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in vanilla and egg. With your mixer on medium speed, add flour. Beat until flour is incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Leave about 3 inches of space between each cookie (I fit 6 cookies on my baking sheet). They spread out quite a bit while baking.
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes until golden brown. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

I was searching for a recipe that reminded me of what my mom used to make growing up. This was perfect! Crispy edges and chewy insides, The balance of sweet and salty is spot on! Will be keeping this recipe to use again and again, I would recommend checking these cookies frequently while baking because I ended up pulling mine slightly early with each batch.
