GF Olive Oil Walnut Chocolate Cookies
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.
