Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the butter, white sugar, and oil together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, milk, salt, vanilla, baking soda, and cream of tartar; mix well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For softer cookies, ensure your butter is at room temperature and avoid overmixing once the flour is added. You can substitute half of the oil with applesauce for a healthier option. If you prefer a different flavor, try adding chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips instead. To enhance the taste, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but can also be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for a perfect treat. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a bowl of fresh fruit or a platter of Oven-Fried Vegetables for a balanced snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but it may change the texture slightly. Start with half whole wheat and half all-purpose to see how you like the results. Whole wheat flour will make the cookies denser, so be mindful of the moisture content.
What can I use instead of chocolate chips?
If you don't have chocolate chips on hand, you can use chopped chocolate bars, white chocolate chips, or even dried fruit like cranberries for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the size is similar so they distribute evenly throughout the dough.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and chewy.
