Olive oil chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies

Super soft olive oil chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies!
I was looking for an extra special cookie recipe the other day. I mean the blog as a few cookie recipes but all of them are made with tons of butter, and I’ve been trying to use less of that devilish ingredient lately. Can you imagine using no butter to bake cookies? It sounds impossible, isn’t it?When I think of baking cookies I think of butter, and I really need a break from butter after all the holiday feasts….. So I convinced myself that if I use healthy olive oil instead of butter, my cookies will come out extra healthy 😉 I know it’s still a cookie but with no butter, therefore it’s healthier.
