Description

Crispy chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate balance of buttery crunch, crackly tops, and an overflow of chocolate chips. Unlike soft-baked cookies, these beauties are thin, golden, and satisfyingly crunchy. They’re the kind of cookie you can’t resist dunking into a glass of cold milk—without losing their crisp texture.

By skipping chilling, using more white sugar, and adding a touch of honey or corn syrup, these crispy chocolate chip cookies deliver a texture experience that’s different from anything else. Picture a very thin cookie with crackling ridges, crisp edges, and just the right amount of chew—plus plenty of melty chocolate in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (188 g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 10 tbsp (142 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp (43 g) honey or light corn syrup

  • 1 large egg yolk (remove the white)

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1¼ cups (225 g) semi‑sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

1. Prep the Dough

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugars, honey, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.

2. Shape & Bake

  • For thin and crispy cookies, skip chilling the dough.
  • Roll dough into balls (about 1 tbsp each) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10–11 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges.
  • Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Love extra crunch? Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack for ultimate crispiness. Pair them with a cold glass of milk or crumble them over ice cream for a delicious twist!
