Cherry Balsamic Olive Oil Cookies
Indulging in cookies is a delightful way to celebrate any occasion, and with the unique combination of Oviedo Olive Oil Butter EVOO and cherry balsamic vinegar, these cookies offer a rich flavor profile that’s sure to impress.
These cookies are not only easy to make but also bring a sophisticated twist to traditional cookie recipes. The use of olive oil instead of butter results in a tender, chewy texture, while the cherry balsamic vinegar adds a hint of tartness that beautifully complements the sweetness of the sugars and chocolate.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Oviedo Olive Oil Butter EVOO
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Oviedo Olive Oil Cherry balsamic vinegar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried or cocktail cherries, chopped
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Oviedo Olive Oil Butter EVOO, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and cherry balsamic vinegar, mixing until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped cherries and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for -12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
These Cherry Balsamic Olive Oil Cookies are perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying with your favorite beverage or a cold glass of milk. The combination of flavors creates a unique treat that stands out from ordinary cookies.
