Ingredients

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cup granulated sugar
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1⅛ cups whole-wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (chopped finely; choose a dairy-free option as needed)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Add the olive oil, egg, vanilla, and sugars to a medium bowl. Stir well with a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
  • Portion out 1 tablespoon-size balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each 2 inches apart. Press each ball down flat.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the pan.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Store cookies for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Use mini chocolate chips or full size ones. I prefer to chop up full size ones so there's a more even distribution of chocolate throughout.
  • Use all-purpose flour if you prefer.
  • Use raisins for the chocolate chips if you'd like.
  • Look for dairy-free chocolate chips from brands including Guittard, Tollhouse, Enjoy Life Foods, and Ghiardelli.
