Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Many decades ago I created a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that has been a family favorite ever since! We make them for holidays, birthdays, for car trips, and just because!

However, there is just one issue...

When you pack a bag full of those cookies for a car trip, they would just fall apart since they are so tender! Not ideal!

Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies

So a few months ago I set out to make a crisp, sturdy cookie, based on my original recipe, that would be the perfect chocolate chip cookie for lunchboxes, and car trips!

I wanted a healthy replacement for the traditional Chip Ahoy and Famous Amos cookies that my husband and I grew up with, but I still wanted that mini chocolate chip cookie experience, with all of the crunch and none of the filler!

After a few test batches and a tiny bit of frustration, I finally came up with the perfect crispy chocolate chip cookie recipe that the whole family loves, and I don't have to feel guilty about indulging with on a long car trip!

These crispy chocolate chip cookies can be made with homemade chocolate chips, or your favorite store bought chocolate chips! If you want to make reeeeeally tiny cookies, then use mini chocolate chips. Otherwise, the regular size chocolate chips are fine.
