Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies


This afternoon we have D's history day team here working on their display. I didn't have any sweet treats, so I decided to bake them some cookies. I had no butter and no (regular) eggs. But I made due with olive oil and duck eggs. I don't think they could tell...or cared. They devoured a dozen cookies in 5 minutes flat!

Ingredients makes approximately 30 cookies


  • 2 ½ C flour
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 t baking soda
  • ¼ C olive oil
  • 1 t vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • ¾ C organic granulated sugar
  • ¾ C organic brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, 3 if small (I used 2 large duck eggs)
  • 1 to 2 T milk (I used almond milk)
  • 2 C semisweet chocolate chunks


 Procedure

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.

Combine sugars, vanilla, and olive oil together in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs one a time. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, then add in 1 T milk to make the dough a bit firmer; you can add a second tablespoon if you feel the dough is too dry.

Use a small (Tablespoon) scoop to place dough on parchment or silicone mat-lined baking sheets. 

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Move cookie sheet to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes before moving. You can move them to a wire rack and let them cool completely or eat them warm. You can guess what the kids did!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island.
