How to Make Chicago Crunchy Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup vegetable oil, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1 cup rolled oats, and 2 cups chocolate chips.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
  7. Lightly spray cookies with cooking spray (optional).
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Larger cookies may require an additional 2-3 minutes.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
