Olive oil is a flavorful and versatile cooking oil that is often trusted in popular cooking methods such as sauteing, stir-frying, dressing, marinating and grilling. It can also earn your trust when it comes to baking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It provides high levels of mono-unsaturated fat (“good” fat) and low levels of saturated fat (“bad” fat), making it a more nutritional choice when compared to butter or margarine. Because you need less olive oil than butter in baking, you’ll save calories as well.<\/p>\n

One easy way to incorporate olive oil in your baked goods is during the prep work: where recipes call for buttering or flouring pans, instead brush the pan with olive oil and dust with flour for the same effect as butter.<\/p>\n

On sheet of waxed paper, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; set aside.<\/em><\/p>\n

Using electric mixer, beat olive oil with sugar until smooth and light. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating until smooth. Add milk and vinegar; beat until smooth. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in chocolate morsels with large spoon; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n

Heat oven to 325 F. Grease two large baking sheets with 1\/2 tablespoon olive oil each. On lightly floured surface, divide dough into quarters.

Transfer to rack; let cool 10 minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Reduce oven temperature to 300 F. On cutting board using serrated knife, cut each log into 3\/4-inch-wide slices diagonally. Place slices, cut-side down, on baking sheets. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until toasted. Transfer to racks; let cool.<\/em><\/p>\n
