Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (this helps keep them soft and chewy).

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your butter-less chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
