Servings:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, baking soda, and salt together.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, olive oil, eggs, vanilla, and almond butter together.
Mix the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients.
Take half of the chocolate candies and put them aside. Fold the chocolate chips and the rest of the chocolate candies into the cookie batter.
Scoop 2 Tablespoons worth of the cookie dough and roll into a ball and place on the pan. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Take the remaining chocolate candies and place on top of each cookie dough ball. Make sure to have room in between the cookies because they spread while baking. This is why you probably will end up using two cookie sheets or baking them in two batches.
Cook for 11-13 minutes, remove from the oven and then let the cookies sit on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a plate or cooling rack.
Note: I like to cook one cookie sheet of cookies at a time. So as soon as one of them comes out of the oven to cool, I put the other one in to bake.

Instead of almond butter, you can use a different nut butter like cashew butter, peanut butter, or hazelnut butter. You can also use sunflower butter for a nut-free option, just know that it may turn a little green while baking.
