Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients together. For this recipe, you will need: olive oil, dark chocolate chips, egg yolk, vanilla extract, sea salt, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Take a few minutes to double check that you have everything before starting the recipe.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. As it preheats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat. Measure out all of the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl until combined. It will be a thick cookie dough consistency. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 2-inch round cookies about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool before serving or storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before adding to the flour mixture. Slowly stir to incorporate all of the ingredients together into a thick cookie dough consistency.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each cookie dough ball with some sea salt. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and crispy. These cookies will be soft and chewy so it is important not to over bake them. Let cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
