I have been making chocolate chip cookies for many, many moons. I first started making them from my mom's good ol' Betty Crocker Cookbook. And I still swear by this recipe! If you make chocolate chip cookies from this orange cookbook you will not be disappointed! But over the past 20 years of trial and error and combining things that work and taking out things that didn't work I have come up with my own recipe that is pretty much perfection!
I mean look at these beauties!
Always worthy of a close up!
And would you believe I made these cookies with whole wheat flour! These cookies are so easy to make and so delicious that you must remember- With great power comes great responsibility!
Famous Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oven 350 degrees
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick (1/2 c) butter
1/2 c vegetable oil (I use canola)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla, if you are using imitation vanilla use 3-4 teaspoons
2 1/2 c flour (you can use whole wheat like I did, or white flour, or half and half of both, they all turn out fabulous!)
2 cups chocolate chips
Bake time 8 min.
Cream sugars, eggs, butter and oil. (The oil is my secret to perfect cookies!)
Add salt, baking soda, and vanilla.
Mix in flour.
Toss in the chocolate chips of your choice!
Combine it all together! And...
Voila! Eight minutes later in a 350 degree oven, perfect cookies! Make sure the edges are golden and the middle of the cookies no longer look wet and shiny.
(I have a convection bake setting on my oven and it really makes a difference on how my cookies turn out, but if you don't have a convection oven, its ok! You can still have perfect cookies, you may just need to cook them a bit longer.)
Trust me if you make this recipe no one will leave you alone, you will be forever getting calls, texts and emails, asking for the recipe! So give them a try and let me know if you think they are the perfect chocolate chip cookies!
Yay so excited to try these!
