Equipment

baking sheet

Ingredients

½ cup olive oil (mild flavored)
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (210 grams)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
flaked sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, until well combined. Add in the egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Whisk until combined.
Add in the flour and use a wooden spoon to mix until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and use a rubber spatula to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Use a cookie scoop to measure out balls of dough and place on baking sheet leaving 1-2 inches between each cookie. Press on any remaining chocolate chips. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt if using. Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the cookie is just set. Let cool on pan for a few minutes before moving to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

- Use a good quality mild olive oil for best flavor. Anything too strong will overpower the cookie.
- Make sure you are weighing the flour to ensure accurate results.
- The chocolate chips may not mix with the dough well. Press any extra chocolate into the dough balls before baking.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies for extra flavor (optional).
- Store leftover baked cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze in a freezer bag for up to a month.
