Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Line a 11×17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together olive oil, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses and vanilla.
Stir until well combined.
Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Stir in flours, flax, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and stir until almost combined.
Add chocolate chips and stir until well combined.
Spoon dough onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly, right to the edges. (It’s easiest to use wet hands for this job.)
Sprinkle over extra chocolate chips and press into the dough.
Bake for 23-25 minutes, until golden and set.
Cool on a rack.
Let cool before cutting.
