CHOCOLATE-OLIVE OIL CRISPS
In these chocolate cookies, olive oil stands in for butter which results in a crisp texture and more intense cocoa flavor. A touch of honey in the dough lends a deeper sweetness than sugar alone. Delightfully snackable on their own, these crisps also work well alongside a bowl of fruity sorbet.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients and equipment are ready and measured. This will save time and prevent scrambling during the baking process.
- Use Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your chocolate crisps. Opt for high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for a rich, decadent taste.
- Melt Chocolate Properly: To avoid burning or seizing, melt the chocolate slowly and gently. Use a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl over simmering water, stirring constantly until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the crisps hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before forming the cookies.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep a close eye on the crisps while they bake. They should be golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Overbaking will dry them out and make them crumbly.
Conclusion:
Chocolate crisps are a delightful and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various accompaniments. Whether you prefer them plain, sprinkled with sea salt, or drizzled with melted chocolate, these crispy, chocolatey cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. With careful attention to detail and the right ingredients, you can easily create these delicious treats at home. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a delightful baking journey. Happy baking!
