Dark Chocolate Cracked Cookies with Virgin Olive Oil

If you are following a balanced diet, you know that you need one cookie in each hand (Wonderful quote by Barbara Johnson).
To help you with your quest for balance, I wanted to share with you my new favorite cookie recipe. ♥️ These yummy bites are based on quality cocoa and virgin olive oil. The potent flavor of the virgin olive oil comes through with every bite and it is absolutely delicious.
They are truly addictive, I find myself eating way more than I should (who said anything about balance? )
The cookies have just the right texture- soft inside and crisp outside. Not to mention they are beautiful 💜

Whenever I go into the kitchen, whether it is for cooking or baking, I need to have my music with me. I thought it would be nice to share with you the exact song that describes my feeling towards each recipe. That way you can have a similar experience while cooking...
