For BettyEllen... Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies

[housewolf]

I picked up a copy a of Martha Stewart's "Holiday Cookies" magazine yesterday (I'd been looking for it for a while but it was sold our or off the shelves already in my usual grocery, lucky for me I found one at a store I don't usually visit). She has a recipe for "Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies." I haven't tried these but thought I'd give you the recipe to add to those you're experimenting with, there might be a key here. They don't have the oatmeal in them but... well, give them a try and see if they're close.

Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 3 dozen

2.25 c all-purpose flour
.5 tsp baking soda
1.25 c unsalted butter, softened
1.25 c granulated sugar
.75 c light brown sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
.25 c water
2 c chocolate chips (12 oz bag)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Whisk together flour & baking sodea in a small bowl; set aside.

Put butter & sugars in the mixer bowl; mix on medium speed until pale & fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low.

Add salt, vanilla, the water and the eggs. Mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2" apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets or wire racks 1 - 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to the rack to cool completely.
