Ingredients

30 minutes
24 cookies
  1. 2 cupsall-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoonbaking soda
  3. 1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
  4. 1large egg
  5. 1 tablespoonvanilla extract
  6. 1/2 cupgranulated or coconut sugar
  7. 1 cupdark brown sugar, packed
  8. 2/3 cupolive oil from Spain
  9. 6 ouncesdark chocolate, chopped
  10. Flaky sea salt

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes
  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.

  2. 2

    In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or with a handheld mixer), beat together the egg, vanilla, and granulated/coconut sugar at medium-high speed until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and olive oil from Spain and beat two minutes until glossy.

  3. 3

    Switch to low speed and add in the flour mixture until it is just incorporated. Finish mixing with spatula until a dough comes together. Then gently fold in chocolate chunks.

  4. 4

    Place the dough in a covered container and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. 6

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop (size 40) or spoon out 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Leave plenty of room in between the cookies: about 9 cookies fit on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with flaky sea salt.

  7. 7

    Bake 9 to 11 minutes until the tops are lightly browned, but not dried out. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
