Description
Experience the delightful crunch of crispy edges and chewy centers with these easy-to-make pan-banging chocolate chip cookies. Achieve perfect texture by banging the pan during baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
- Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into 2 tablespoon balls and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are still pale.
- Every 2-3 minutes during baking, lift the baking sheet and firmly bang it down on the oven rack or a sturdy surface. This creates the ripples and crispy edges.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, use a higher ratio of white sugar to brown sugar.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
