Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, canola oil, and eggs. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Add Flavor: To the wet ingredients, add in the salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Chocolate Chips Galore: Now, it’s time for the star of the show – the chocolate chips! Add the chocolate chips to the bowl and mix them into the cookie dough. Make sure they are evenly distributed for maximum chocolatey goodness.
-
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated and you have a thick, cookie dough consistency. Pro tip: I like to use my hands for this part to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Chill Out: Pop the cookie dough into the refrigerator while you preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
-
Form Cookies: Once the oven is heated, take out the chilled cookie dough. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 1 1/2 – 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. The dough will spread a bit while baking, so give them some space.
-
Bake to Perfection: Slide the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes. Keep an eye on them – you want the tops to be just starting to brown. Don’t overcook, as slightly underdone cookies are chewier and more delicious!
-
Cooling Time: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute. This allows them to set slightly before transferring.
-
Transfer and Enjoy: Carefully transfer the warm cookies onto waxed paper to cool completely. This step ensures they don’t stick to the pan and stay nice and chewy. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They also freeze well for future cravings!
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for any occasion! Whether it’s a family gathering, a bake sale, or just a cozy night in, Hubby’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies are sure to be a hit. Serve them with a tall glass of cold milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
Tips and Tricks
-
Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your eggs and oil are at room temperature. This helps everything mix together smoothly.
-
Customize Your Chips: Feel free to mix things up with different types of chocolate chips. Try milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate for a fun twist!
-
Freeze Ahead: If you want to have cookies on hand at all times, freeze the rolled dough balls on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and bake straight from the freezer as needed. Freshly baked cookies whenever you want? Yes, please!
-
Don’t Skip Chilling: Chilling the dough not only helps with texture but also enhances the flavors. It’s tempting to skip this step, but trust me, it’s worth it!
So there you have it, the recipe for Hubby’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies! Bake up a batch (or two) and get ready to indulge in some seriously irresistible treats. Enjoy! 🍪😋
