The Thin Chocolate Chip Cookie

Steps

1. 1Heat oven to 375ºF. Line 5 half sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
2. 2Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. In a seperate bowl, combine the egg, milk, and vanilla and bring to room temperature.
3. 3In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, starting on low speed to soften it. Add the sugars. Increase the speed, and cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed back to low and add the egg mixture slowly. Increase the speed and mix until well combined.
4. 4Slowly add the flour mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop onto the prepared pans, 6 cookies per pan. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for more even browning.
5. 5Remove the cookies from the pans to a wire rack immediately. Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze in zip-top bags for up to 3 months.
