Everything Bagel Cookie Recipe
Cooking on the Weekends
Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 large egg, lightly blended
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted, peeled, finely chopped (optional)
- For the Seasoning on Top:
2 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 1/2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds
2 teaspoons Fleur de Sel (or other salt)
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons golden brown sugar
Directions
- Pour olive oil, sugar, vanilla, salt (I used sea salt), and the egg into a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together until it's smooth.
- Slowly add flour and baking soda to the batter. Make sure you don’t over mix; stop when dry spots disappear.
- Add the chocolate chips and hazelnuts (I left the hazelnut out, as I don’t eat nuts). Fold it in the batter by using a spatula to lightly blend it.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to measure out the cookie dough, then shape them into balls. Place them on the parchment paper as close as you can, as they aren’t going in the oven yet.
- In a small bowl, add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar. Mix together.
- Roll each ball of dough into the mixture with your hands, taking care to coat it on all sides. This can be a little tricky — all those chocolate chips make it hard for the dough to stay in neat little balls — just do your best. Aim to cover as much as the cookie dough as you can, then place back on the parchment paper.
- Once all the cookies are coated, wrap the entire cookie sheet in plastic wrap. Put in the fridge for at least six hours, or overnight if you can (that's what I did).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line another cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out the cookie dough on both sheets. They should be about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and keep them on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes. Then, move them to a baking rack to cool for a few more minutes before eating.
- Serve with a glass of milk or cup of coffee and enjoy!
