Oatmeal Cookies With Sea Salt And Olive Oil Food

OATMEAL COOKIES WITH SEA SALT AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 325°.
• 2 In a large bowl, mix the egg, vanilla, water, honey and sugar. While mixer is still on low, slowly pour in olive oil. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cinnamon, salt, oats, almond flour and baking soda together. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until well combined. Lightly mix in the chocolate chips until just incorporated.
• 3 Prep cookie sheet by spraying with Bertolli Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil. Drop about 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the cookie sheets, leaving at least an inch of space between them. Sprinkle cookies lightly with sea salt before baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown.

SALTED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter for a few minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sugars, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, beating until the mixture is well blended. Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour and oats, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary and mixing just until they are incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least an hour before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Form the dough into golf ball-size balls and place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle sea salt generously on top of each ball of dough, as you would sugar. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 15 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and beginning to turn golden, being careful not to overbake. (The cookies should have a tender interior.) Transfer the cookies, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack to cool completely.
