Fresh Desserts

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 or 2 Tbs of milk (or rice milk)
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Combine sugars, vanilla, and olive oil. Beat in the eggs one a time.
4. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, then add in 1 Tbs of milk to make the dough a bit firmer, maybe another Tbs if you feel the dough is too sticky/dry (I used about 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon).
5. Roll the dough into balls with your hands and place on a greased and/or lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and set. (Mine took about 10 and a half minutes.)
7. These overbake quickly, so it’s better to take them out a bit early if you’re unsure.
8. Allow to cool for a bit on the baking sheet, then move to another surface to finish cooling.
