Chocolate chip cookies with no butter
Description
The chocolate chip cookies use vegetable oil instead of butter for the fat component, mixed thoroughly with two types of sugar, egg, and vanilla for a smooth dough. A small amount of baking soda leavens the cookies as they bake to a tender yet structured finish with evenly distributed chocolate chips folded in at the end. Chilling the dough for at least two hours firms it for shaping, reducing spread during baking.
Baked at 180°C (356°F), the cookies become lightly golden and firm to the touch but remain soft inside. The optional butter flavoring extract can provide a buttery aroma without actual butter, adapting the recipe for those preferring or needing to avoid butter. The balance of brown and caster sugar contributes both moisture and sweetness for rich flavor.
This cookie offers a classic chocolate chip profile while using oils that differ from traditional recipes, useful for cooks without butter on hand or seeking a different texture. Baking on parchment-lined sheets spaced apart allows even cooking and easy removal.
Various oils such as vegetable, sunflower, olive, or melted coconut oil can substitute for vegetable oil in this recipe.Butter flavoring extract is optional and may be omitted if unavailable or unwanted.
