Chunky Chocolate Cookies with Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
Chunky Chocolate Cookies with Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil?
I associate cookies with butter and not with olive oil because that is how I bake our cookies. Why not, this is the tried and tested ingredient for baked goodies. So when I saw cookies being prepared with olive oil, I was surprised.
I didn’t think I would be enjoying cookies with less guilt 😀
Here was how these cookies were prepared:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 pcs large eggs, beaten
3 tbsp fresh milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
chocolate chunks
Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 3750F. Lightly coat large cookie sheets with olive oil cooking spray.
- In a mixer bowl, add olive oil, sugar, eggs, and milk. Mix until well blended.
- Add vanilla and cocoa. Blend until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls or by small size cookie scoop on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and press a chunk of chocolate into the center of each cookie.
- Cool on wire racks.
- Enjoy 🙂
NOTE: for a lower fat and carbo content you may change milk to low-fat and replace 3 whole eggs with 1 whole egg and 4 egg whites
