Chocolate Thins Recipes

HOMEMADE BARK THINS

Steps:

• Place almonds in a plastic bag and seal. Using a sturdy wood spoon or an ice mallet, pound the almonds until they are chopped into small pieces mixed with crumbs.
• Set almonds aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave in 25 second increments, stirring each time. Continue until melted--the key is not to overdo it. When almost all of the chips are melted, stirring a bit extra will get the rest and not overheat the chocolate.
• Pour crushed almonds, vanilla and all of the sea salt except for a pinch into the bowl and stir to combine.
• Line a 9x13inch baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture over top and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt.
• Allow to set in the freezer for about 30 min.
• Remove from the freezer and break into pieces.
• Store in the freezer of refrigerator.

THIN AND CRISPY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.
• Combine the butter and sugars in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla and 2 teaspoons water.
• Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, then beat in the chocolate chips, toffee and walnuts, if using.
• Spoon slightly rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are deep golden brown and the tops are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Bake the remaining cookies in the same manner, letting the baking sheets cool completely between batches.

CHOCOLATE THINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter a 14 x 18inch baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
• Cream the remaining butter with 1/2 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Mix in the sifted flour and cocoa.
• Using your fingers, which have been run under cold water and dried, spread the batter over the baking sheet, completely covering it to the edges.
• Beat the egg white until stiff and spread it over the batter. Combine the cinnamon with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and sprinkle it over the egg white.
• Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately cut the pastry into about 24 diamond, square, or oblong shapes.
• With a metal spatula, carefully remove the cookies from the sheet and cool.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE THINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line three baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray. Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine the sugar, oil, milk, vanilla and egg white in a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7 minutes, remove the sheets and press the cookies down with a wooden spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

THE THIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Combine the egg, milk, and vanilla and bring to room temperature in another bowl.
• Cream the butter in the mixer's work bowl, starting on low speed to soften the butter. Add the sugars. Increase the speed, and cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed and add the egg mixture slowly. Increase the speed and mix until well combined.
• Slowly add the flour mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for more even browning.
• Remove the cookies from the pans immediately. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
