This is an all-time favorite in my house (it's from Great American Home

Baking)

 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (or use 1 cup vegetable shortening + 6 tsp

water for vegan)

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg (or combine 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp vegetable oil + 1 tsp baking

powder)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (we use the generic store brand b/c they're

dairy free)

 

1. Mix together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon

2. Beat together butter (or shortening), brown sugar, and granulated sugar

at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg (or mixture) and

vanilla

3. At low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Fold in Oats and

chocolate chips.

Cover w/ plastic wrap , chill for 1 hour

**(fyi - I skip this step adn mine come out just fine)

4. Preheat oven to 350, grease 2 baking sheets

5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place cookies, 2 inches apart, on

prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly.

6. Bake cookies until lightly browned around edges 10 - 12 minutes. Let

cookies cool 2-3 min, then xfer to racks to cool completely.

 

This dough freezes great in ice cube trays for later use. And I'm a serious

beliver that a baking rack makes all the difference in having a crispy

cookie
