Ingredients

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  • Add the vegetable oil and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 
  • Next, add the eggs and vanilla. Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until it's almost fully combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the cookie dough. 
  • Scoop out 1 ½ tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet. Space them at least 2” apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie. 
  • Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and set around the edges.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs mix in smoothly, but cold eggs will work too. The batter just may look a little curdled at the beginning.
  • A stand mixer or hand mixer makes the cookies even easier to make.
  • A large spoonful or cookie scoop of dough makes perfect medium cookies and helps me keep them consistent so each batch bakes evenly.
  • Using parchment or silicone mats keeps the bottoms from browning too quickly on my baking sheets.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for a few days. They can be frozen as well.
