Chocolate Thins Recipes

EASY CHOCOLATE BARK

Steps:

• If you have time, toast the nuts/seeds: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Toast the nuts/seeds on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and turning lightly golden on the edges, about 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a cutting board and roughly chop them.
• In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it's about 90% melted-keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. (Alternately, you can use melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.)
• Cover a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a silicone or rubber spatula to spread chocolate evenly over the center area of the baking sheet-aim for about 1/4″ thickness (it won't reach the edges).
• Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the chocolate, followed by the dried fruit. If you're adding flaky salt, crush it between your fingers as you sprinkle it over the chocolate. Lightly use your palms to press the toppings into the chocolate.
• If you're in a hurry, place the pan on a flat surface in the refrigerator to harden for about 15 minutes. If you're not, let the chocolate cool at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours, until completely hardened.
• Once the chocolate is completely hardened, use your hands to break it into about 25 pieces. Serve immediately, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

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.

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.

THIN AND CRISPY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer, cream the brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Mix in 1/3 cup of water and the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda and add to the butter mixture. Mix on low until the flour mixture is incorporated, and then mix in the chocolate pieces.
• Scoop out the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and freeze for an hour. The cookies will spread, so limit 4 cookies for each cookie sheet to give ample room.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool. Remove the cookies with a flat spatula to prevent breaking.

CHOCOLATE 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 flour, cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine the sugar, vegetable oil, coconut 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.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of the batter about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies look firm and dry on the top, 10 to 12 minutes. 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.
