Our Gal’S Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 cup caster sugar or use 1/2 cup if you prefer the cookies to be less sweet
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 115 grams butter left in the open to soften
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1. Leave butter in a warm place for a couple of hours to soften. It has to be soft and cannot be used straight out of the fridge.
2. Pre-heat oven to 180 deg Celsius.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of flour. Add 1 cup of caster sugar. Or less (1/2 cup) if preferred. Add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of oatmeal, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
4. Stir the dry ingredients together till they are well mixed.
5. In a separate large bowl, add 115g of softened butter, 2 large eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6. Whisk to combine. Don't worry about the lumps.
7. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk the mixture well to combine.
8. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
9. Stir well to combine the dry and wet mixtures.
10. When the dough is ready, add 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips.
11. Stir gently to combine.
12. Roll the ready dough into equal sized balls. About 1.5 inches in diameter.
13. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 13-15 mins. They will be chewy if they are slightly underbaked, and very crispy if baked for a full 15 mins.
