Olive Oil Cookies
Unlike traditional chocolate chip cookies, these olive oil cookies are made without butter. They're made with olive oil which has less saturated fat and more heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and antioxidants.

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup olive oil, vegetable oil or canola oil
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract This ingredient is optional. If you prefer a traditional chocolate chip cookie flavor, skip the almond extract.
- semi-sweet or mini milk chocolate chips For a sweeter cookie, substitute with a cup of mini semi-sweet or mini milk-chocolate chocolate chips folded into the batter.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the oil, white and brown sugars, eggs and both extracts and mix on medium with an electric mixer or stand mixer

- Use a tablespoon to scoop each cookie onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place one chocolate chip into the center of each cookie and push it down slightly.
