I have never had a better cookie. This is a go-to for any potluck or small group, or when your husband comes home on his lunch break and challenges you that you can't possibly make them in such a short time frame. They are soft and chewy and chocolatey. Makes about 2 dozen. *UPDATE* Y'all. We changed this recipe, I don't even know how long ago, and I never updated it on here! If you have made these before, you may have thought, There is no possible way they could be better. But they did. Oh my goodness. Using coconut oil instead of canola or vegetable oil, just kicks it up a notch and they are even more amazing! I can't even explain how yummy these are!
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup coconut oil* (or canola oil)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
(Trust me when I say Aldi has the best chocolate chips...it honestly makes a difference.)
Pre-heat oven to 350*. Prepare two cookie sheets. Cream together sugars, butter, and oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add remaining dry ingredients. Chill dough for 15 minutes. If you skip this step, your cookies will not turn out the same. Place rounded dough (about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp...we like big cookies) on cookie sheet and bake for 13 minutes. Cookies will be just cooked through and slightly golden and crunchy on the outside...perfectly melty and gooey.
Enjoy!
