Yes, EVOO is great in all kinds of savory recipes, but it also works beau­ti­fully well with cook­ies too! Mildly intense extra vir­gin olive oil pro­vides a delight­ful way to incor­po­rate taste and healthy whole­some ingre­di­ents into your favorite sweet treats and baked goods. 

These ooey-gooey choco­late chip cook­ies are rich, deli­cious, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Olive oil is the secret ingre­di­ent to main­tain­ing mois­ture when bak­ing. No dried out cook­ies here! We subbed in high-qual­ity, mildly intense, EVOO for the but­ter in this recipe and the results are won­der­ful! The aroma of extra vir­gin olive oil gives this clas­sic cookie a sophis­ti­cated flair.

Converting your cookie, cake, muf­fin or pie recipes from using but­ter to olive oil is very easy. A sim­ple rule of thumb is for every full mea­sure of but­ter, you use only three-quar­ters of EVOO.

  • 1eachegg

  • 3/4cupgran­u­lated sugar
