"I was looking for cookie recipes without butter and found this one. really good"

 

• Ready In: 10hrs 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 36 cookies
• Serves: 36

ingredients

• 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 -2 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips

directions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. 2. Combine sugars, vanilla, and olive oil. Beat in the eggs one a time. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, then add in a tablespoon of milk to make the dough a bit firmer, maybe another tablespoon if you need it/if you feel the dough is too sticky/dry (I used about 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon).
3. 3. Roll the dough into balls with your hands and place on a greased and/or lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Mine took about 10 and a half minutes. These overbake quickly, so it’s better to take them out a bit early if you’re unsure. Allow to cool for a bit on the baking sheet, then move to another surface to finish cooling.

Wow, these are great! I used gluten free flour and reduced the sugar - personal preference - but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. 1 tablespoon almond milk was perfect for the milk, and the baking time was exactly 10 minutes. I'll make them again and add some cranberries, too. This is a wonderful no fuss cookie recipe :) Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Bargain Basement.
