chocolate olive oil cookies with sea salt
INGREDIENTS: * TEA TREE PRODUCTS
3/4 cup BLOOD ORANGE OLIVE OIL *
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 dark chocolate bars, chopped into fine irregular bite-size shards and the other chopped in medium shards for garnishing the cookies
Flaky salt, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the BLOOD ORANGE OLIVE OIL and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk again until everything is incorporated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and kosher salt.
Add the flour mixture to the olive oil mixture and mix until combined. Add the finely chopped chocolate bar and fold in to combine. Cover and chill the cookie dough for 1 hour.
Scoop the dough with a tablespoon and drop onto the prepared cookie sheets. Gently indent the middle of each cookie and place a medium chopped chocolate shard in the middle. Sprinkle a little flaky salt on each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet and then remove to a serving plate. The cookies keep well in an airtight container for 1 week.
