American-style chocolate chip cookies that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The key is to press down the center ❤︎

Background of this recipe
American cookies are soft and delicious, but when you buy them at the store, they often have a thick, undercooked center, which I don't like. I created this recipe with the image of Country Ma'am cookies in mind. American recipes usually use twice the sugar (including granulated sugar), but this amount is sweet and delicious enough ❤

Steps

1

Microwave the butter until melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt. Add the ingredients one by one in the order listed, mixing well each time.
2

Add the all-purpose flour (no need to sift) and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. ★Reference
3

Tear the dough into small pieces (consider that they will spread to twice their size when baked) and flatten to 1/2 inch thick. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 7 minutes.
4

The center will puff up, so after 7 minutes, remove from the oven and press down the center with a spoon. Do not move it side to side, just press down neatly.
5

Return to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes (or 5 minutes if you want a crunchier outside). Let cool on the baking sheet to finish cooking with residual heat.
6

★If chilling is a hassle, use two spoons to drop the dough onto the sheet and press to 1/2 inch thick.
7

Pressing down prevents the center from being undercooked and gives a nice texture. It creates a cute shape like Country Ma'am cookies.
8

For a variation, embed marble chocolate without cocoa. Press down before baking to prevent the chocolate from being crushed.

❤Brown sugar hardens after opening, so roll it up, remove the air from the bag, and store it in a sealed zip bag.
