Here’s a no-fail recipe for that childhood favorite. It’s sweet and simple and will rekindle fond memories for you and your family. 

Ingredients

2 eggs3/4 cup sugar3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 tablespoon vanilla2 1/2 cups all purpose flour3/4 teaspoon baking powder3/4 teaspoon baking sodagood pinch salt

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, best quality

Directions 

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream the eggs and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

2. Add the oil and vanilla, and mix in thoroughly. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix at low speed. Fold in the chips by hand.

3. Drop the cookies in heaping teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with foil, 1 inch apart.4. If the baking tray is professional heavy gauge, bake for 10-11 minutes. If it is lighter, bake for 8-9 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so do not be tempted to bake them longer or they will harden. Bake only one tray at a time (you will get two trays total).Store in tin boxes. Do not refrigerate. Separate each layer of cookies with foil or wax paper so they don‘t stick together.
