Italian (olive oil) chocolate chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

In honor of opening day of the Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs and my Sabres first playoff game in more than a decade on Sunday, I present italian chocolate chip cookies.  What makes them Italian, you ask?  I used olive oil instead of butter or crisco 😉

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Firmly packed your brown sugar into your measuring cup.  I used mini chocolate chips, but you can use regular.  I do recommend freezing the dough for a half hour to an hour, or chilling it in the fridge for a few hours. And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, ground

Directions – in a bowl, combine oil, sugar and brown sugar.   Add egg, vanilla and water.   Mix in dry ingredients.   Fold in chips and nuts.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Freeze 30 minutes.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.

Bake 10 to 13 minutes, no longer.  

Cool completely.  Store in covered container.

Another chocolate chip cookie recipe for you. These feature semisweet, white and milk chocolate chips. I used olive oil instead of butter.

Scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Once you add the dry ingredients, you may want to use your hands to mix the dough. Also use your hands when you mix in the chips.

If you decide to chill the dough, I recommend scooping the mounds of dough out first. It will be difficult to scoop out chilled dough. I am a big believer in chilling cookie dough to keep cookies puffy.

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – mix olive oil, sugar and brown sugar. Stir in egg, yolk and water. Blend in dry ingredients, using your hands. Mix in chips, using your hands. Scoop out 2 tbs of dough and form tall mounds. Chill. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheer with parchment paper. Bake 10 to 12 minutes (you will see golden patches on top). Store in covered container.

Perfectly puffy!

Olive oil chocolate chip cookies

Another chocolate chip cookie recipe. This one uses olive oil instead on butter or crisco. I was quite pleased with how they turned out. I used my 1/4 cup cookie scoop, so they are big!

Notes- spoon your flour from your flour bag in your container so you get the correct amount. I scooped out my dough and put it in the freezer for an hour, to keep them from spreading too much. You could also pop the mounds of dough in the fridge for a few hours. Preheat your oven for 20 degrees before baking so the oven cycles to the right temp.

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbs brown sugar, packed into your measuring cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 2 tbs warm water
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, combine olive oil, sugar and brown sugar. Add egg, water, and yolk. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips (i used my hands at this point, like making meatballs). Scoop our 1/4 cups of dough. Roll into tall mounds. Chill a few hours in fridge or freeze for an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees before baking. Line a sheet with nonstick baking liners. Bake 12 to 14 minutes (light golden patches on top) store in covered container
