Tips to Make Irresistibly Thin Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the dough when adding the dry ingredients. This keeps the cookies from getting tough.
• For extra crispiness, bake the cookies a minute or two longer until the edges are a deep golden brown.

Variation

You can switch things up by adding nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate. For a seasonal twist, try adding some cinnamon or pumpkin spice for fall.

FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the texture and flavor may be slightly different.

2. How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum for better texture.

3. What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and shape the cookies.
