I'm participating in the Crazy Cooking Challenge again this month!
We're making cookies - Chocolate Chip Cookies!
There are so many different variations for chocolate chip cookies. No nuts. Add nuts.
Add oatmeal (my personal favorite). Peanut butter chips. Milk chocolate chips.
The list is endless.
When searching for a unique chocolate chip cookie recipe I wanted something
I had never tried or considered before. I found the perfect option on
Slice of Feist. A blog I love, and you will too!

Olive oil chocolate chips cookies!
Replacing the standard butter with olive oil sounded like a very interesting prospect.
And I have to say, the taste was quite good! The cookies were soft and chewy. Yum!
Next time I would probably add just a bit more salt.
And I would allow the cookies to bake a tab longer to achieve a crispy outer
crust similar to what I get from a butter-based chocolate chip cookie.
Give these Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies a try. I think you'll really like them!

Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies until golden, about 10-12 minutes.

I just recently heard that you can replace the butter or vegetable oil with olive oil when baking. I'm glad it worked well for you, and encourages me to try it, too. I'm starting a new link party if you want to join on Mondays-Must Try Mondays-where you share your must try recipes.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I always wonder about substituting things in recipes but get too scared when it comes to baking desserts because they say exact measurements are key. Good to know you can use olive oil in cookies!
ReplyDeleteoo I need to save this! I love super soft cookies!
