Our Gal’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
1 cup caster sugar (or use 1/2 cup if you prefer the cookies to be less sweet)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
115g butter (left in the open to soften)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
1
Leave butter in a warm place for a couple of hours to soften. It has to be soft and cannot be used straight out of the fridge.
2
Pre-heat oven to 180 deg Celsius.
3
In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of flour. Add 1 cup of caster sugar. Or less (1/2 cup) if preferred. Add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of oatmeal, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
4
Stir the dry ingredients together till they are well mixed.
5
In a separate large bowl, add 115g of softened butter, 2 large eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6
Whisk to combine. Don’t worry about the lumps.
7
Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk the mixture well to combine.
8
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
9
Stir well to combine the dry and wet mixtures.
10
When the dough is ready, add 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips.
11
Stir gently to combine.
12
Roll the ready dough into equal sized balls. About 1.5 inches in diameter.
13
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 13-15 mins. They will be chewy if they are slightly underbaked, and very crispy if baked for a full 15 mins.

About
Our gal loves baking and wanted to bake some chocolate chip cookies.
She has a chocolate chip cookie recipe that she’s used several times before and know it by heart. She says it was originally from some kiddy book that she can’t remember so I can’t give the due credit for it.
These cookies were delicious. I ate 2 as soon as they came out of the oven!
