Everyone has a weakness against chocolate chip cookies as long as they are baked in the right way. I’m not an exception. Plus, I love baking them and trying different type of chocolate chip cookie recipes.

I knew the result would be amazing when I placed the baking sheet in the oven. Who knew the perfect chocolate chip cookies recipe call for olive oil? These cookies are a big hit for special occasions.

To my surprise, I didn’t feel the taste of olive oil in these cookies. They were no different from regular chocolate chip cookies that are chewy and wonderfully soft on the inside. That’s why they absolutely deserve the name Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies.

This is not a butter-free cookie recipe, olive oil is used for half of the fat and the other half is butter. If you are looking for a healthier cookie recipe that is both butter-free and oil-free, check out our chocolate chip yogurt cookies. You’ll see Greek yogurt makes an incredible substitute for butter.

If you are not a fan of olive oil, you can use sunflower seed oil, but the taste is really not noticeable in these cookies.

I used granulated white sugar because it was what I had on hand. I’m sure the cookies would get even chewier with brown sugar, so you might think of using it in this recipe.
