Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's a delicious sweet for you guys to try out!

1/2 cup of olive oil
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup of cocoa
1/4 tsp of baking soda
1/8 salt
1 cup of chocolate chips

Preheat oven at 350. Combine all dry ingredients except sugar in a large mixing bowl with a whisk. Make a well in the middle of the bowl. Set aside.

In a smaller mixing bowl combine olive oil, sugar, and egg until well blended. Add about a 1/4 cup of the wet ingredients in the dry ingredient well. Gradually add dry mix and stir. Continue to gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients until there is a smooth consistency. Next, add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly mixed.

Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop the cookie batter onto the cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for about 11-13 minutes. Take out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.


Mmmm chocolaty goodness!

Homemade Breaded Chicken Strips

Hello everyone! I'm back and I am so sorry about the lack of posts the past few months. This summer was absolutely insane with work, changing jobs, family get-togethers, and everything else! I have a new recipe that I made last night that was a complete success with the boyfriend and I, so I wanted to share it with you! This breaded chicken went really well with rice and peas and carrots. If you have any other suggestions for side dishes feel free to comment in the comment section!
