Lemon-Chip Cookies
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (such as canola)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- Grated zest and freshly squeezed juice of 1 medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons juice)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners or grease generously with butter or cooking spray.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the vegetable oil, granulated and powdered sugars, egg, and lemon zest and juice and beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add the flour, soda, and salt and beat on low speed just until incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- The dough will be very soft.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
- Using a tablespoon-size scoop, drop mounds of dough about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Press the dough evenly with your fingers or palm to slightly flatten the cookies.
- Bake until the edges turn golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before removing.
- The cookies can be baked and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 weeks.
- Alternatively, make the dough up to a week in advance, and refrigerate in a covered container.
- Bake a day or two before you plan to serve them.
