How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed until well blended.
  3. The mixture will be different from a creamed butter batter; this is perfectly fine.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand just until combined. Add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time to avoid overmixing.
  7. If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour, until it forms a ball easily.
  8. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  9. Roll the dough into balls slightly smaller than golf balls and place them 2-3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Press 3-4 additional chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
  11. Bake for 8-10 minutes for soft, chewy cookies, or 11-13 minutes for crispier cookies. (9 minutes is ideal for soft and chewy).
  12. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
