Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (this helps keep them soft and chewy).
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your butter-less chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
