OLIVE OIL COOKIES

One of my favorite combinations is honey, olive oil and sea salt. It works great in cookies as well as savory things. Add to that notes of lemon and rosemary and you've got yourself a one-of-a-kind treat. -Bryan Kennedy, Kaneohe, Hawaii

Categories     Cookies     Wine     Olive     Bake     Rosemary

Yield makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup dry red wine, or a little more

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs with the olive oil and wine. Use a rubber spatula to stir the liquid mix into the dry one, just until well combined; if the mixture is stiff, add a little more wine.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer the cookies to a rack to cool further. Store in a covered tin for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality olive oil. The flavor of the olive oil will come through in the cookies, so it's important to use a good one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. A high oven temperature will help the cookies crisp up on the outside and stay chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Olive oil cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a special dessert. With their light and fluffy texture and delicate olive oil flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
