NYC Thin and Gooey Cookies

Experience the magic of NYC bakeries with these indulgent thin and gooey cookies, featuring crisp edges and soft chocolate centers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (brown butter)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until deep golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch; set aside.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk; mix until smooth.
  6. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  7. Fold in chopped bittersweet chocolate.
  8. Scoop and shape dough into large balls; chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes. Bang the baking sheet on the counter, then bake for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  10. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For uniform baking, ensure cookie dough balls are similar in size. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
