Amazing cookies! These got eaten up in no time, they were much loved. I made as written and used an organic olive oil, organic cane sugar and turbinado sugar. They weren't quite done at 12 minutes so I had to turn down the oven to about 335F-340F and leave them in for about another 5-7 minutes... not sure what happened there. Anyhow, they were still wonderful! Thanks for posting.

These were very good. I did make a few changes. Like the other reviewer, I was afraid of the taste of olive oil so I used canola. I used 1 whole egg and 2 egg yokes, added about 3/4 cups choc chips, and used walnuts. I used HALF the sugar, and they still came out great! I love all the healthy grains.

Fantastic!! I can't believe I'm the first to review these wonderful cookies! A heartier cookie but light, chewy and tender with just the right amount of chocolate. Sinful right out of the oven but store very well also. Only change I made was to use 1 1/2 sticks of butter/canola blend, only because my olive oil is very fruity and I worried that it would be too heavy. Can't wait to try these with a lighter version of olive oil. DH and the kids LOVED these, too! I have looked all over for a healthy cookie that doesn't taste it, and have finally found it!! Thanks, Stephie, for sharing the recipe.
