Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees – Prep Time: 10 minutes  – Bake Time: 14 minutes  – Makes: 24 large cookies

3 sticks margarine or butter, softened

1/2 cup oil

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 1/2 cups flour, not quite

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix margarine (or butter), oil, and sugars together. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add the baking soda, salt, and four cups of flour. You may not need the whole last 1/2 cup. Sprinkle some in and stir. Keep adding a little more until you have a smooth, cookie dough consistency. Add the two cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

You may use an ice cream scoop. I don’t think my mom even owns one. She uses two spoons, as do I. Scoop up dough with one, and use the other to scrape the dough off onto the baking sheet. I get 8 cookies on a sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes. I turn the baking sheet after 7 minutes of baking. I let them rest on the pan for a couple of minutes before moving them with a spatula onto a cooling rack or wax paper on top of a dish towel. They are so good warm out of the oven. They are super good frozen, too. Just let them sit out a couple of minutes and you can bite right through! They will make you happy! #chocolatechipcookies
