I mention the 8 years ago part because I want to apologize for how terrible the photo looks. Let me just assure you that these cookies TASTE delicious despite what they look like in the photo. Now, lets get on to the original post:

Today I was playing around with my Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and ended up with this less healthy, but super yummy cookie. It has a crisp, crunchy outside (thanks to the olive oil addition) and a chewy texture inside.
