Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I've had. They are soft and chewy. I use them as a base for any other cookie recipe I create.

Servings: 2 dozen small cookies

Ingredients:


0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a>	baking powder
0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'cup')">cup</a>	brown sugar
0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'cup')">cup</a>	chocolate chips
1	egg
0.25 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.25000, 'cup')">cup</a>	oil
1 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(1.00000, 'pinch')">pinch</a>	salt
1 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(1.00000, 'teaspoon')">teaspoon</a>	vanilla
1 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(1.00000, 'cup')">cup</a>	white flour
0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'cup')">cup</a>	white sugar
0.5 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.50000, 'cup')">cup</a>	whole wheat flour
0.25 <a href="javascript:openCalcWindow(0.25000, 'cup')">cup</a>	yogurt

Directions:

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 2

Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl. Combine with the dry ingredients in the large bowl.

Step 3

Place small spoonfulls of the batter on a cookie sheet. Bake for 13 min at 375 degrees F for chewy cookies. You can bake them for up to 15 mins for a more crispy texture.

Notes:

The whole wheat flour is really just there to make them a little healthier. I find that with the 1/4 cup of w.w. flour you don't taste the difference.
