Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 48 cookies

Equipment

  • 1 Medium cookie scoop (#40/2TBSP/2OZ) Optional, but makes it easier to get uniform cookies.
  • 2 Cookie sheets So you can load one sheet while the other cooks; I use four 17"x11" cookie sheets.
  • 2 Silicone baking mats If you make cookies, you must have these! Cookies never stick, and there's no clean-up.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 Cup Vegetable oil or Canola oil
  • 1 Cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 Cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Almond extract Optional
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4.25 C flour
  • 2.5 C Mini M&Ms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Cream the sugars, butter, and oil together.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly
  • Mix in the vanilla and almond extract.
  • Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together.
  • Add the dry ingredients in thirds to the sugars and eggs, mixing after each addition
  • Add the M&Ms, mixing on low or with a wooden spoon
  • Use Medium cookie scoop (#40/2TBPS/2OZ) to place cookies on sheet. Slightly flatten with a fork.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes. Check cookies--they should be slightly brown on the bottom. Cookies will slightly flatten and spread while they cook.
  • Cool on the cookie sheet for at least ten minutes, then on wire rack. The cookies are fragile when they first come out of the oven, so let them set up before removing them from the rack.
