2. Melt the second 1/2 c. of chocolate chips in microwave or in bowl over hot water. Stir in oil, water and vanilla. Stir melted chocolate mixture into flour mixture until well blended. Using a 1-oz. cookie scoop, or by rounded teaspoonful, drop cookies onto parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Using back of a fork, press down twice to create a criss cross pattern.

* You can blend the soy oil with olive oil depending how much of a background olive oil flavor you like.

*It is almost vegan. The chocolate does have a small amount of milk product in it.
