Ingredients
Servings: 12-14 cookies
- 3/4 cup Batistini Farms' Organic Notes 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or Organic Lemon Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Granulated Cane Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- Zest of 1 Orange
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat for 5 minutes, or until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the olive oil mixture, folding with a rubber spatula until all the flour is absorbed and well combined.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 350F.
- Roll out the cookie dough in-between two large pieces of parchment paper until 1/4" or 1/2" thick (thicker = softer cookies).
- Using your favorite cookie cutter shapes, cut out the dough and carefully place them 1" apart on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until set (thinner = less cooking time). Allow to cool completely before decorating. Enjoy!
