So what does pan banging mean?

It is a method where bakers bang the baking sheet pan against the oven rack to create a thin cookie with wrinkled, buttery, crinkly edges. It creates a chocolate chip cookie with a crispy edge and a soft, gooey chocolate center.

I started out making this recipe as written but began tweaking it as I made more and more batches. This became the perfect thin chocolate chip cookie recipe!

This recipe calls for butter, a generous amount of sugar (which creates the crispy edges), brown sugar, egg plus one egg yolk, a touch of water, flour, baking soda, salt, and dark chocolate chunks. 

There are a few ingredients and techniques that make these pan-banging cookies unique.

Pin It*It is imperative to chop up chocolate bars or use chocolate baking wafers in these cookies. Chocolate chips are NOT suggested as they hold their shape and will stick up in these cookies.  *I suggest Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bar, Ghirardelli Baking Bars, Guittard Baking Wafers, or any of your favorite chocolate bars.  This recipe is adapted from Vanilla Bean Blog. I changed the granulated sugar amount, the brown sugar amount, added an egg yolk, reduced the water amount, increased the chocolate amount, and decreased the cookie size.
