2/3 cup brown sugar, packed light or dark 2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped = 2 to 3 teaspoons chopped rosemary 1 ½ cups all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon fine salt 1/3 cup olive oil 1 large egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate = 3 ounces ; substitute chocolate chips 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar for rolling flaky salt optional for topping
Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit and set aside a nonstick or parchment lined baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar with the chopped rosemary. Rub together until sugar is fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside.
To the bowl with brown sugar, stir in the olive oil, beaten egg, and vanilla until well incorporated. Mixture should be thick like a gel.
Add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined into a thick dough.
Fold in the chopped chocolate, stirring gently to spread throughout.
Using a 1 Tablespoon or 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop, shape dough into balls. Roll each in granulated sugar.
Place cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or small plate.
Bake on 375° for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are set. Remove from oven and top with flaky salt, if desired.
Let stand on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
Only fresh rosemary is recommended for this recipe (not dried). Use the flavor to taste.
This recipe makes 12 cookies using a 1.5 tbsp scoop or 18 cookies using a 1 Tbsp scoop
Olive oil cookies do not brown like traditional butter cookies, so use caution not to overbake them.
