Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet
  • 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, oil, and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, vanilla, and salt and mix until combined.
  • Add in the baking soda and cornstarch and half of the flour and mix well.
  • Pour in the remaining flour and mix only until combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips, then cover and chill for one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough (about 2 Tbsp) onto ungreased cookie sheets, making sure the piles of dough are nice and tall.
    *If using a cookie scoop, scoop one ball of dough right on top of another one. This is what makes the cookies thick!
  • Bake 10 minutes. Pull them from the oven when the edges are slightly golden and the centers look just barely done.
    After 2 minutes remove cookies from sheets onto cooling racks until completely cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
