No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brooke Homec
No butter chocolate chip cookies are made using oil instead of butter to keep them extra moist and chewy, but still loaded with good flavor.

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (112 g) oil I used coconut, but vegetable would work great too
  • ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 large egg yolk room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • 1¾ cup (218.75 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (236.59 g) chocolate chips
  • flaked salt to top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the oil and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg and yolk one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
  • Slowly mix in dry ingredients, baking soda, salt and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Add chocolate chips and fold into the dough.
  • Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. Place 6-8 on baking sheet so they don't run into each other. Top with flaked salt.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Notes

There is no chilling required for this dough, but I still like to if I have the time. It always helps to lend itself to a slightly better flavored cookie, and also helps with the spreading.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
If using coconut oil, be aware that there will be a subtle coconut taste to the dough. I have also added ½ cup of shredded coconut to the dough and loved it.
