Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter, canola oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
  3. Add eggs; beat well.
  4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; beating well.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.

Tips & Substitutions

For the best texture, use room temperature butter to create a creamy mixture. If you're out of canola oil, melted coconut oil or unsweetened applesauce can work as substitutes. For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips. Ensure not to overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients to keep the cookies tender.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun dessert platter, consider serving them alongside Pumpkin Banana Bread or Vicki's Broccoli Bake for a balanced treat. They also make great gifts when packaged in a decorative box.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them soft, consider placing a slice of bread in the container. If you want to reheat them, simply pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven set to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

Cookies are typically done when the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Aim for about 10-12 minutes in the oven.
