Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies







Okay, you probably think I'm exaggerating when I say "perfect," but have I let you down before? I've had SEVERAL years of experience with cookies and I have come to perfect this recipe. These cookies are comparable to the ones that you can get per-packaged in the grocery store deli, only made with all real ingredients.





Tips

Toppers - I don't mix in a handful of the chips, so that I can top the cookies before I put them in the oven and make them look even more delicious!
It's the oil - the crispy texture of these cookies is because of that little bit of oil. Perfect for dunking and for keeping the interior of the cookies moist.


Oven Temperature: 350 degrees
Cook Time: 10 - 12 minutes
Servings: 4 dozen, 2 - inch cookies
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (if desired)
1 (12 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
 
Directions:
1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2) In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix the ingredients to distribute each ingredient evenly. Set this bowl aside.

3) In a large bowl, cream together butter, vegetable oil, granulated and brown sugar. Add vanilla, milk and  eggs, one at a time (to prevent a mess).

4) Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are combined.

5) Stir in nuts and chips (reserve some if you would like to top the cookies). 

6) Place dough by rounded Tablespoons onto an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet 2 inches apart.

7) Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browning around the edges and the centers are set.

8) Cool cookies for a few minutes on the pan until transferring onto a cooling rack.
