These are my favorite chocolate chip cookies! Super thin and extra crispy. Fabulous!

Thin and Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, soft
1 1/4 cups white granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups white all-purpose flour
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line several large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl cream together the soft unsalted butter with the white granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. If using a stand mixture this should take about 4 minutes.

Add in the large eggs, water and pure vanilla extract and beat well before adding in the salt and baking soda. Blend well.

Fold in the white all-purpose flour followed by the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Drop heaping tablespoon size amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart, and bake, one sheet at a time, for 20 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool slightly before enjoying.

This are the perfect quick candy to stir up for a Holiday gift. The mixture of chocolate and cranberry pairs unbelievably well with the crunch of the corn flakes. If you are really in a hurry, pop these into the refrigerator to finish setting up and drying.

1 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
3 cups corn flakes
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium sized microwave safe bowl combine the milk chocolate chips and bittersweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.

In a large bowl pour corn flakes and dried cranberries. Pour melted chocolate over corn flakes and dried cranberries.

Combine well, coating every single corn flake and dried cranberry with the melted chocolate.

Place large scoops onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top with salt if desired.

Allow to set up before enjoying.
