INSTRUCTION
Put the sugar and olive oil in a large bowl and whisk the mixture very well for one minute. Mix the vanilla and sea salt together with a whisk.
STEP 1 .
When you add the egg, whisk very hard for one minute. If the cocoa is lumpy, sift it in first, then whisk it in. Mix the baking soda, cornstarch
STEP 2.
And baking powder together. If you want, you can add chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (but not more than ¾ cup).
STEP 3.
Cover the dough and leave it on the counter for 15 minutes. Warm the oven up to 350 F. Set up two cookie sheets with parchment paper between them.
STEP 4.
To divide the dough into pieces, use a 1.5-ounce scoop. Leave about an inch of space around each piece so the cookies don't stick together.
STEP 5.
If you want, you can add flaky sea salt on top before baking.
Set the oven to 10 minutes. When the cookies have puffed up and cracked all over, they are done.
STEP 6.
Take it out of the pan when it's cool. For overnight storage, leave at room temperature in a container that won't let air in.
