These chocolate chip cookies are just the right mix of crispy outside with an ooey gooey center. They're so good that my friend's children have taken to calling me "Sara Cookie".
A major plus to this recipe is that it's made with oil! No fussing with melting butter or waiting for it to soften. And you can make it all by hand, no need to pull out a heavy mixer.

The recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oil (any neutral oil will do, I use canola)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (don't use imitation vanilla)
- 2 cups AP flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 360F/180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- 2Cream oil and sugars together until well incorporated.
- 3Add in egg and egg yolk and mix well.
- 4Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- 5In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- 6Mix the flour mixture into the wet mixture with a wooden spoon until just incorporated. Don't use a whisk and don't overmix or the cookies will become a bit tough.
- 7Mix chocolate chips in with a wooden spoon.
- 8Using a cookie scoop, spoon out the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet. They should be placed about 3 inches apart. They won't spread too much, but you don't want them overcrowded.
- 9Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.
- 10Cool on a wire rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to five days.
