The last time I stopped in at The Quail & Olive*, I picked up a bottle of their Butter Flavor Olive Oil because I was interested in trying the oil in some holiday baking. I don't know about you, but as soon as Halloween is over, my brain goes into overdrive on what kind of holiday cookies to bake. I have been making olive oil chocolate chip cookies for years because it's so much quicker than creaming together butter and sugar! This olive oil is a great way to still get that buttery flavor.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup olive oil (I used the Butter Flavor Olive Oil from The Quail & Olive)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2-1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of flakey sea salt + more for sprinkling 
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Also needed: cookie scoop, silicone mat, and baking sheet

Procedure

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, vanilla, eggs, and brown sugar. Whisk until blended. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to bowl and mix until ingredients are completely moistened. 


Fold chocolate chips into the dough with a spatula.


Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough into balls.


Place scoops 1" apart on the baking sheet and place in the oven.


Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to let cool. The cookies will firm as they cool.


Serve cookies immediately or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container.

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. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
