easy homemade recipes: #1 ingredients: - 1/2 cup white sugar - 3/4 cup (preferably dark) brown sugar - 1 tsp salt - 1/2 cup oil OR 1 melted stick of butter (if using salted butter, don't add the salt) - 1 tsp vanilla extract (the bottle cap = 1 tsp) - 1 egg - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 1 cup chocolate chips instructions: 1. preheat oven to 350°F and line cooking tray(s) with parchment paper, aluminum oil, or cooking spray. 2. in a bowl, mix together both sugars, salt, and butter/oil until completely combined. you should have a dark colored paste. 3. mix in the egg and vanilla. 4. sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold it in with a spatula (i use a chopstick lol). 5. mix in about 2/3 of the chocolate chips. 6. scoop the dough into 12 or so equal sized balls, then lay them on your baking tray(s). decorate the top of the cookies with the rest of the chocolate chips. 7. if desired, let them rest in your fridge for at least an hour, or overnight (im lazy, so i don't do this one, but if you do make sure to scoop the dough first because frozen dough is really hard to scoop). 8. bake for about 12 minutes for a chewy cookie, and for a slightly firmer one bake up to 15 minutes. credits: tasty.co
