Cherrie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Did you know that you can make chocolate chip cookies with vegetable oil? I had no idea until my friend, Cherrie, shared her delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe with me and what did it use? OIL!

Don't worry, butter lovers, it has some of that in it too... these create a nice crumble at the end, like a shortening cookie and are dense and delicious in the middle like your favorite butter cookie. The other amazing thing about them? They don't have to chill! So you can have a batch mixed and baked in under 30 mins when that craving hits!

You can make these will just one kind of chocolate chip, but if you want the complete Cherrie cookie experience, you've gotta use all three!
