Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon hot water
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more for sprinkling
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips I used Ghirardelli baking chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the olive oil and sugar and mix, with a hand mixer, until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between each one.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda into the hot water and set aside.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt to the egg mixture and beat until a dough forms.
- Add in the dissolved baking soda and beat until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Cover and place the dough in the fridge while the oven preheats to 350° and you line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Once the oven has preheated, use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, 9 per sheet. Sprinkle with additional sea salt.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are set.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheets before removing to enjoy.
