Whole wheat Chocolate cookies in Olive oil | Glutenfreewhisk
The last post that I did was of a whole wheat chocolate coconut cake in olive oil and following the same recipe I have made these beautiful small cookies. As I baked that for my sister, which she took away, so I had to bake something for my parents. So, I made the batter in large quantity and separated a thick gooey batter that will allow me to bake around 6 cookies and rest batter I used for making a cake and changed its consistency to comparatively runny but not too much, perfect for a cake.
But I will share a full ingredient recipe below for Whole Wheat Chocolate Cookies in Olive oil that will make up to 9-10 cookies.
As fancy using olive oil in baking sounds, it is rather healthier option than butter. When I bake, I generally go for homemade ghee than butter, but olive oil is also a good option as it is mild with no characteristic smell or lasting, pungent flavor.
Cookies are really quick and easy recipes to make but as easy and quick they are they disappear too rather quickly. I prefer baking cakes over cookies, but cookies have their own fun for sure.
For gluten free cookies option, we can replace whole wheat flour with gluten free oats, some grounded almonds, desiccated coconut, sweetener of choice and olive oil.

1.5 cup Brown sugar or as per taste
1 cup olive oil
