Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
Better than butter, tbh.
Make about 20 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (338g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
1 (3-ounce) bar dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Flaky salt, for garnish
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the olive oil and sugars until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix until just incorporated. Add the chocolates and mix until just combined. Cover and chill the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Working in batches, scoop 3 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared sheet pans spaced about 2 inches apart (8 per tray). Finish each with a pinch of flaky salt.
Bake, rotating trays halfway through, for 10 to 12 minutes until set and the edges are golden. Let cool slightly on the trays, then serve.
