CHOCOLATE OIL RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring tea or other liquid to a simmer, then turn off heat. Whisk in cocoa, cinnamon and salt until smooth, then set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar, olive oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat for about 3 minutes. Reduce speed and pour in cocoa mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda until just incorporated.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until the sides are set but it’s still slightly damp in the center, 35 to 45 minutes. A cake tester should come up clean but with a few sticky chocolate crumbs clinging to it. Transfer cake pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely in pan.

Steps:

• Beat together olive oil and sugars in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat just until combined, about 30 seconds (do not overbeat).
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until fully combined and no clumps. Add flour mixture to olive oil mixture, and beat until fully combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Remove paddle attachment, and fold in chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula. Cover and chill dough until firm and cooled through, about an hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper. Remove dough from refrigerator just before using. Scoop out 1 1/2-inch size balls, and place on lined baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart (about 9 cookies per baking pan). Bake in preheated oven until edges are beginning to turn golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt.
