Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
- Beat in the vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Centers should look slightly underbaked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top before baking or add chocolate chips or chopped nuts. To make them vegan, use coconut oil and a flaxseed egg. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
