Applewood Smoked Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn't love fresh baked chocolate chip cookies?  We make ours with Vanilla Olive Oil and sprinkle them with Applewood Smoked Sea Salt.  These are soft in the middle, crispy on the edges and a satisfying blend of sweet and salty.  They might just be the best chocolate chip cookies ever!

Ingredients

• 1 cup Sutter Buttes Vanilla Olive Oil
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup golden brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp Sutter Buttes Applewood Smoked Sea Salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Add the olive oil, and both sugars to a large mixing bowl. Mix until you have a smooth consistency.
3. Now mix in the egg. Blend until completely smooth again.
4. Add in flour and baking soda into a bowl and mix just until fully
   incorporated.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Form balls of dough, about 2 tbsp each, and place on prepared
   baking sheet.
7. Sprinkle each ball with the Applewood Smoked Sea Salt and press
   to flatten about halfway.
8. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven until the cookies are
   golden brown along the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then
   place them on a cooling rack to come to room temperature.
10. Enjoy once cooled.
