Orange Rosemary Olive Oil Cookies 🎄 31 Days of Cookies

I’m wishing everyone who celebrates Hanukkah joy and light. These olive oil cookies are in tribute to the season of the Festival of Lights.

Ingredients

⅓ cup olive oil
1 small orange—zest and juice
1 tsp orange extract
1 ½ cup sugar (1 ¼ cup for dough ¼ cup for rolling)
2 eggs
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
2 ½ cups flour
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, orange extract, juice and zest, 1 ¼ cup sugar, and eggs. Whisk until frothy. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Finely chop rosemary, reserving a few needles for the top of the cookies. Incorporate chopped herbs into the dough. Roll cookies into 2-inch balls. Dust with ¼ cup of sugar. Bake at 350° F on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes. Place rosemary on top of each cookie.
