Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add olive oil, vanilla extract, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until combined.

Then, add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir to combine.

Fold in chocolate chips. The dough will be a little crumbly and oily.

Use hands to roll dough into 1 ½ inch sized balls. Your hands will get slightly oily. Use your hands to squish dough into compact balls of dough.

Place balls of dough at least 2 inches apart on pan. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies look barely set in the middle.

Finally, remove cookies from oven.

Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Select High-Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil 🫒
Use a fruity, mild extra virgin olive oil rather than robust varieties to ensure the subtle olive flavor complements rather than overpowers the chocolate and vanilla notes.
Chill Dough Before Baking ❄️
Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies with better texture definition.
Toast Dark Chocolate Chips Lightly 🍫
Briefly warm your chocolate chips in a dry pan over low heat before adding to dough to intensify their flavor and create deeper cocoa notes that harmonize beautifully with the olive oil.
Finish with Sea Salt Flakes ✨
Sprinkle fleur de sel or finishing sea salt on cookies immediately after removing from oven to enhance sweetness, balance richness, and highlight the sophisticated olive oil flavor.
Don't Overmix After Adding Flour 👉
Mix the gluten-free flour in gently by hand until just combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten-free flour's structure, which can create tough cookies instead of tender, tender ones.
