The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups chocolate chips
The Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can result in tough cookies.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly undercooked in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
