About the Recipe
If I don't make these cookies for a family gathering, people will be upset! So be warned - if you make these once, you WILL get requests to make them again :) I love this recipe because you do not need to chill the dough beforehand. Even without chilled dough, you end up with wonderfully thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons corn starch
• 3 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy. This should take at least 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt to the mixer and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda, cornstarch, and flour.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the stand mixer, incorporating it slowly until the dough is well mixed.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a wooden spoon. If preferred, you can also add the chocolate chips to the stand mixer, but be careful not to overmix the dough.
If desired, you can chill the dough for an hour, although this step is not necessary.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden.
