sugar cookies offer a delicious alternative to traditional butter-based cookies, bringing a rich and slightly fruity taste. These cookies have a perfect balance of crisp edges and soft centers, making them a favorite for any occasion. Extra virgin olive oil not only enhances the texture but also provides a hint of complexity to the flavor. Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with coffee or tea, these cookies are a delightful treat.
Making these cookies is simple. Start by mixing the dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then, combine sugar, olive oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, forming a soft dough. Roll the dough into balls, coat them in sugar, and bake until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These cookies are perfect for those looking for a dairy-free option or a twist on classic sugar cookies. Adding citrus zest can brighten the flavor, while a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can bring warmth. Store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
