Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and become perfectly golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened coconut oil, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to cream the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Continue mixing until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This helps to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up once removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Earthy Andy's Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Softened coconut oil is key: Make sure your coconut oil is at room temperature for the best texture and smooth mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep your cookies tender and soft.
- Use room temperature eggs: They blend more easily and create a more consistent dough.
- Chill the dough (optional): For even richer flavor, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies: This ensures even baking and a professional look.
- Check your oven temperature: Every oven is slightly different, so keep an eye on your first batch to find the perfect baking time.
- Let cookies rest: Allowing cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Store properly: Keep cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
