4. In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add both sugars. Add egg, oil, and vanilla.
5. Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture, blending well -- I add a third at a time.
6. Add chocolate chips mixture.
7. Drop by heaping teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. [The amount of cookies you get will depend on how large you make them.].
