Hi, I'm new here but I love browsing the recipes and getting new ideas. Anyone have any crispy or chewy cookie recipes made with oil?

Thanks

First of all, welcome!

Would you like a delicious recipe for giant zebra / crinkle cookies?

This recipe is from Levana Kirschenbaum's cookbook

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
•2 eggs
•3/4 cup sugar
•3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
•3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•1 tablespoon vanilla
•2 1/2 cups flour
•3/4 teaspoon baking powder
•3/4 teaspoon baking soda
•1/8 teaspoon salt
•1 1/2 cups best-quality chocolate chips, the smaller the better
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the oil and vanilla and mix in thoroughly. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix at low speed. Fold in the chips by hand.
3. Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets lined with foil. Bake only one tray at a time. If your cookie sheets are the professional heavy-gauge type, bake the cookies for 10 minutes. If they are lighter, bake for 8 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so do not be tempted to bake them longer or they will harden.

Giant Zebra Fudge Cookies (Crinkle Cookies)

1/2 cup oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
confectioner's (powdered) sugar

Line 2 large cookie sheets or jelly-roll pans with parchment paper.
Mix oil, sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, vanilla and baking powder, until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 18 balls slightly larger than golf balls.

Fill a small bowl with powdered sugar and stir with a fork to break up any clumps. Place balls, one at a time, in bowl of powdered and toss to coat heavily and completely. Transfer to prepared pans. Leave room between dough balls, as the cookies spread during baking.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 18 minutes. If you like, you can make smaller cookies; form walnut-sized balls and bake 12 minutes. Cool completely.

They are marvelous!
Yes, they do bake at 375 and I take mine out promptly at 8 minutes, even if they don't look done. Try it with a batch. When you find the right time for your oven, between 8 and 9 minutes for chewy, take them out immediately.

most recipes work with oil- just substitute the margarine for half that amount. meaning if its one cup of margarine use half a cup oil. etc...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Binah (while ago)

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp cocoa
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine first 9 ingredients until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix chocolate chips, peanut butter, and confectioner's sugar.
Cover and refrigerate both both bowls for half an hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
When ready, spoon peanut butter mixture into chocolate cookie dough, swirlin gently. The peanut butter should not dissolve into the chocolate dough mixture - the mixture should have a marbleized effect.
Roll dough into small balls and place on the lined cookie sheets, at leasr 2-3 inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes, then move to wire racks to cool.
Cookies may seem underdone, but they will harden as they cool.
Tastes even better the next day.

I use extra light olive oil in my cookies (NOT extra virgin!) and use this substitution chart (for all my baking with oil -- it seems to be pretty standard):

It doesn't always work. Really good choc chip cookies are just not the same without the marg. That is why I'm excited to try sunshine's recipe.
