Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 egg

  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups GF flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate or your favorite chocolate chips/chunks

  • 1/4 cup walnuts (optional)

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Put olive oil, sugars, egg, and vanilla into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add all remaining ingredients and stir with a spoon until fully combined

3. Scoop batter with a small cookie scoop or a heaped spoon to yield 12 even balls of dough. For more chocolate in every bite, press a few extra chunks of chocolate into the top of every ball of dough.

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are golden around the edges and still a little soft and gooey in the middle. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before serving, or allow to cool completely and store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. These cookies also freeze beautifully.
