Healthier & easy olive oil chocolate chip cookies

This is one of those cookie recipes that will leave you speechless once you try it. Olive oil in baked goods is seriously underrated. Olive oil creates perfect moisture AND gives a rich and smooth flavor to baked goods.

These olive oil chocolate chip cookies leave me feeling speechless after every bite. Their texture is thick and tender, and they maintain their perfect texture for days, rather than drying out. 

They’re also perfectly balanced as they call for less sugar than the usual cookie recipe. They’re also naturally free of gluten, dairy, nuts, refined sugars, and made with healthy fats, which makes them perfect to fit most diets while also indulging!

Olive oil in cookies might sound strange, but I promise you won’t even feel its taste. Plus, who doesn’t want healthy fats packed with omega-3 in desserts?
