For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, robust extra-virgin olive oil. Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or citrus zest. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For a flatter cookie, omit the chilling time, but be mindful of over-spreading.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 365°F (185°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the eggs, olive oil, and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and pale gold. (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
04
StepGently fold in the chocolate chips (or any other desired mix-ins). (2 minutes)
05
StepShape the dough into a ball, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking. (30 minutes +)
06
StepUse a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. If the dough is still soft, refrigerate the baking sheet with the dough on it for another 10-15 minutes before baking. (5 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges are just golden, approximately 8-10 minutes. (8-10 minutes)
08
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (2 minutes)
