Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies

These olive oil chocolate chip cookies are thick, with a soft, pillowy center and extra rich thanks to grated chocolate in the dough. Magic indeed.

Some days you just need a cookie.  A cookie with a chewy edge, soft center and more than the legal limit of melty chocolate chips.

INGREDIENTS

– all purpose flour – kosher salt – baking powder – baking soda – extra virgin olive oil – light brown sugar – eggs – vanilla extract – semi-sweet chocolate – bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips

Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Bake for 13-14 mins or until the cookies are set, golden around the edges, and still pretty soft. They should be a little under-done, the cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Serve warm or at room temperature. The cookies will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
