No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Carolyn
If you're fresh out of butter with a hankering for cookies, no butter cookies are for you! They have crispy edges, chewy middles, and plenty of chocolate chips. These butterless cookies use vegetable oil instead of butter with delicious results.

Equipment

  • Sheet pans
  • Cookie scoop
  • Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients
  

  • cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour If you avoid gluten, use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour instead.
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and yolk. Beat on medium speed until light & fluffy - about 45 seconds.
  • Stop the mixer and add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined.
  • Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the cookies onto a parchment lined sheet pan, giving them plenty of space to spread in the oven. I scooped 5 to 6 per pan.
  • Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the insides look underdone. The whole cookie should not look brown!
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the pan, before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
