Happy Valentine's Day!!  If you want to make a delicious sweet for your sweet, this is the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever made!  They are way better, in my opinion, then the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag.  I owe this fabulous recipe to Martha...she has like a million recipes for chocolate chip cookies on her website but I think this kills them all!  They are super thin and crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside - absolutely perfect!
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 large egg plus 1 egg white
12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips

To Make:
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.  In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. 
Add vanilla and eggs to the butter/sugar mixture and beat on low for 1 minute.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined.  And finally add your chips.

And yes, it looks just like any other chocolate cookie dough...but just you wait!
Place your dough balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet (preferably on top of parchment paper) because they spread a lot and get pretty large and thin.

Bake at 375F for about 10 minutes (this totally depends on your oven and how thin your batter turns out - so keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)

Take cookies out when they are golden brown, let them sit on the cookie sheet for a minute or two then cool completely on a wire rack.

Enjoy!!

Annnnd I made these too :) sooooo good! This is the recipe I've been searching for! Exactly as you said- crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I made two tweaks- did 1/2 whole wheat flour and lowered temp to 360 because my cookies seemed to be burning on the edges before they were cooked all the way through. Will definitely make these again. Thanks so much!
