Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

These grown-up chocolate chip cookies are fantastic for a gourmet group. The almond and baking spice elements imparted by the sherry wine cask-aged olive oil adds a sophisticated touch. The dark chocolate is rich and bittersweetly balanced. These cookies have a lovely chewy center and crisp exterior, everything a perfect chocolate chip cookie should be!
