Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

In a large bowl, add room temperature salted butter.

Cream the butter using an electric hand mixer on high speed for about 30 seconds until fluffy.

Add in 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar, mix well.

Add 1/4 cup olive oil and mix on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir.

Chop a bar of bittersweet chocolate into chunks and add it to the flour mixture.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed.

Refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours to firm up.

Scoop large tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake for 12 to 13 minutes until crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle.

After baking, perform a 'pan bang' to pool the chocolate and create a crinkle effect.
