- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar + ½ cup for rolling
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 15 ounces 1 1/2 10 oz bags mini chocolate chips, divided
Preheat oven to 350°.
Add butter and vegetable oil to a mixer bowl with granulated sugar and powdered sugar. Mix until creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until incorporated.
Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well.
Add 1 package (10 ounces) of mini chocolate chips and beat at low speed until well combined.
Add sugar to a small bowl. Use a medium cookie scoop to make cookie dough balls and roll into sugar.
Place about 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet.
Use a cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass to flatten the cookie dough.
Sprinkle with additional mini chocolate chips, pressing lightly into the dough.
Bake for 11- 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Cool on the cookie sheet about 2 minutes, move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 10 days.
How to Freeze Cookie Dough: Scoop into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Do not roll in sugar. Freeze for 2 hours. Place into a zip top freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. Remove from freezer as needed, place on a baking sheet to slightly thaw. Roll in sugar, flatten and top with more mini chocolate chips. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cream of Tartar: If you don't have cream of tartar, substitute with baking powder. Baking powder is baking soda + cream of tartar. So you will use teaspoons of baking powder and skip the baking soda.
Chocolate Chips: I like the mini chocolate chips in these cookies but any variety or size will work.
