Description
Soft and chewy Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies made with rich extra virgin olive oil instead of butter for a tender texture and subtle depth of flavor. Crisp on the edges, gooey in the center, and packed with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a mild extra virgin olive oil for the best balanced flavor.
- Do not overbake, the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- You can freeze portioned dough and bake directly from frozen, adding 1 to 2 extra minutes.
