Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Sheet trays
Ingredients
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt 4g*
- 1 – 4 oz bar milk chocolate chopped into chunks, plus more for topping each cookie
- 1 – 4 oz semi sweet chocolate bar chopped into chunks, plus more for topping each cookie
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- Flake salt for topping if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper.
- Add in olive oil and both sugars to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, whisking to fully incorporate after each egg. Stir in vanilla and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk flour, oat flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until combined.
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Fold in both chocolates, walnuts and pine nuts.
- Let dough rest 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Roll dough into about 1” balls. Place a few chunks of each chocolate on top of each cookie, without pushing the cookie down too much, if desired.
- Space out cookies evenly on the tray.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until lightly golden on the edges, but still chewy in the middle. Careful not to over bake, as the cookies will not be chewy once cooled if overcooked.
- Sprinkle with flake salt if desired.
- Let cookies cool on the tray for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
just made these all the way over here in brazil and they are delicious 🙂 my bestie has some food restrictions and cant have dairy or wheat, so i subbed the wheat flour for rice flour and the chocolate for a plant based one and it turned out delicious and with a super complex flavour, thank you!
Hi! Is it possible to make the dough a day in advance?
totally!
Hailee, this looks amazing–can you tell me about the oat flour? Do you prefer that to wheat flour for taste reasons, health reasons, or baking quality reasons? I just want to know before I go out and buy some! Thanks!
I love the addition of oat flour for an extra chewiness and nutty flavor!
I made these immediately after seeing the TikTok and wow!! I used gf bobs red mill 1 to 1 flour and oats I blended mostly into flour since I didn’t have any oat flour. The little bits of texture from the oats was actually so nice too & I used hazelnuts because it’s all I had. Can’t wait to try again with the proper nuts!! Delicious I got 18 cookies
Aww I am so happy to hear that! Hazelnuts sound great in here!
