Green family favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (softened)
2 Tablespoons canola oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
3 1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups Nestle dark chocolate chips

Directions

In a small bowl combine salt, flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl, (I use a stand up mixer), cream together butter, oil, and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and mix until combined. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and chill for one hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a small scoop, one ball of dough on to baking sheet and a second one right on top and press down slightly. Continue this process to fill up the baking sheet. If using a spoon, spoon the dough in a tall shape. This will keep your cookies thick. Bake 7-8 minutes for medium cookies and 10 minutes for larger cookies. Remove them from the oven when the edges are slightly golden and the centers are barely done. Let stand on baking sheet for 2-5 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack. Let cool until completely set.

Feel free to play with chocolate chips. The Nestle dark chips are larger than semi sweet chips and our family loves them. We have also used semi-sweet and mini chocolate chips, as well and milk chocolate with mini semi sweet. You can also do peanut butter chips and chocolate, or toffee bits and chips.
