Chocolate chip cookies with no butter

This recipe for chocolate chip cookies avoids butter by using vegetable oil as the fat base. The dough includes brown and caster sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and optional butter flavoring, creating a tender cookie that bakes to a lightly golden, firm texture. Refrigerating the dough before baking helps shape the cookies and develop flavor.
