I have had this recipe for years. I’m going to show you how to make easy chewy chocolate chip cookies! They are soft and chewy and just…YUM!

I absolutely love them. I made a double batch last week. They lasted a couple of days…that’s it. No self-control in this house, I tell ya! Anyway, try these out and thank me later 🙂

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 c butter, softened

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c vegetable oil

1/4 c applesauce

1 c brown sugar

1 c granulated sugar

4 c flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

12 oz bag of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, vanilla, vegetable oil, and applesauce together.

Once well-mixed, add the baking soda, salt, white and brown sugars, and flour. Mix well again.

Using a large spoon, fold in one bag of chocolate chips (I like milk chocolate chips).

Roll the cookie dough into one and a half-inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet (I usually fit 12 cookies per cookie sheet).

Bake the chocolate chip cookies at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook them. Remove the cookies from the oven once the top of the cookie is turning light brown.

Cool the cookies on cooling racks.

Notes

I usually make a double batch of these easy soft chocolate chip cookies and then put these beauties in gallon-size freezer bags with a slice of plain bread. (Did you know that having a slice of bread in the sealed bag keeps the cookies from drying out?)
