Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 ½ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- dash sea salt optional
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.

Notes
- Either extra virgin olive oil or light flavored olive oil can be used. For a more robust flavor, use extra virgin. For a more mild flavor, use light flavored.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work in this recipe.
- The cookie dough will be slightly crumbly and oily. It is important to use your hands to form the balls of dough instead of a cookie scoop. Use hands to make compact dough balls.
- Bake until cookies look just barely set in the middle. Do not over bake!
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
