Ingredients

• 3/4 cup oil: This provides the necessary moisture and richness to the dough, ensuring your cookie sticks stay soft.
• 1/2 cup brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor to the cookie sticks.
• 1/2 cup white sugar: This helps to balance the sweetness and gives the cookie sticks a nice texture.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: Vanilla enhances the flavor and gives the cookies a delicious, aromatic taste.
• 1 egg and 1 large egg: These help bind all the ingredients together and contribute to the soft, chewy texture.
• 2 cups flour: The main structure of the dough, which holds everything together. All-purpose flour is the best option for this recipe.
• 1/2 tsp baking soda: This leavening agent helps the cookies rise slightly and achieve the perfect texture.
• 1/2 tsp salt: Salt balances the sweetness of the sugar and enhances the overall flavor of the cookies.
• 1 cup chocolate chips: The main attraction! These melt into the dough, creating pockets of chocolate in every bite.
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips: Adds a slightly bitter taste to balance the sweetness, making for a more complex flavor.
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar: This adds extra sweetness and helps the cookie dough spread as it bakes.
• 1/2 cup avocado oil: A healthier option for oil that still provides the necessary moisture, while adding a subtle flavor.
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: More flour to ensure the dough is the right consistency for shaping into cookie sticks.
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened: Adds richness and flavor to the dough. Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing.
• Packed brown sugar: Using packed brown sugar helps create a denser texture and enhances the cookies’ flavor.
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda: A small amount to ensure the cookies rise just right and have a chewy texture.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: A final touch of salt for balancing out the sweetness.

These ingredients work together to create a perfectly balanced dough for delicious, chewy chocolate chip cookie sticks.

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350℉. This is the first step to ensure your cookies bake evenly at the right temperature.
• Prepare a 9×13 pan by lining it with parchment paper, covering all four sides. This helps prevent the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. The sugars and oil form the base of your dough.
• Add an egg and a splash of vanilla extract to the sugar-oil mixture, and mix again. This helps incorporate the egg and vanilla, which add flavor and moisture.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. This step is essential to balance the dough’s texture and flavor.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and stir until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Press the dough into the pan, forming a log shape that extends from short end to short end of the baking sheet. This ensures that the dough is spread evenly for consistent baking.
• Bake the dough in the 350 degrees oven for 20-22 minutes. The cookies are ready when the edges turn a golden brown and the center is firm but slightly gooey.
• Once baked, allow the cookie sticks to cool for a few minutes before slicing them into twelve 1-inch cookie sticks. This ensures they are not too hot to handle and makes them easier to cut.
• Finally, slice the cooled cookie into individual sticks and enjoy them with a glass of milk. The result is a perfect combination of sweet, chewy, and crispy cookie goodness.

Equipment

• Parchment paper: Prevents sticking and allows easy removal from the 8 x 8 Metal pan.
• 8 x 8, Metal pan: Perfect size for spreading the dough evenly while baking.
• Large Mixing Bowl: Essential for mixing ingredients without mess.
• Measuring cups, measuring spoons: Ensure accurate proportions for perfect texture and taste.
• 1 medium mixing bowl: For mixing wet ingredients separately before adding to dry.
• Silicone spatula: Helps mix ingredients smoothly and scrape down the bowl.
• Wire cooling rack: Cools the cookie sticks evenly, preventing sogginess.
• Sharp knife: For clean, even slicing once the cookies cool.
• Cutting board: Protects countertops and keeps everything tidy while cutting.

Notes

• Glass pan vs. metal pan: Using a glass pan may affect the cooking time, making it longer. Glass pans take more time to heat up compared to metal pans, which heat up quicker and cook more evenly. This difference in heat can result in the edges of the cookie being less crisp when baked in a glass pan.
