• In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix until fully combined (i use a stand mixer, but a handheld mixer works just as well)

• Once the dough is formed, add in the chocolate chips (and cinnamon if using) and mix again

• Roll dough into about 12 tablespoon sized balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (do not press down yet)

• Bake for 9-12 minutes or until tops begin to turn golden brown
