Butterless Chocolate Chip Cookies
This chocolate chip cookie recipe will produce happiness. With the edges golden-brown and crispy, and the center soft and chewy, these cookies will be mouthwatering whether they are served hot or cold. The twist in this recipe is that there is absolutely no butter! Instead, I use oil. This is possible due to the golden ratio of fats, sugar, and gluten.
I never take no as an option. So when my parents refused to buy me cookies and told me to make them instead, I did indeed make cookies. With no butter in sight, I made do with oil, and after years of experimentation, I finally made a seamless replication of the chocolate chip cookie. This is just the base recipe of the typical chocolate chip cookie, but it can be elevated with different add-ins.
