Olive Oil Sugar Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Olive Oil Sugar Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 365°F (185°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will help your cookies bake evenly and prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil, and sugar.

3. Step 3

   Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture until it transforms into a smooth, pale golden delight.

4. Step 4

   Next, gently incorporate the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Mix just until everything is combined; remember, overmixing can lead to tough cookies.

6. Step 6

   If you’re feeling indulgent, fold in some chocolate chips for that extra touch of sweetness.

7. Step 7

   Now, shape the dough into a ball and pop it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

8. Step 8

   This little chill time helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.

9. Step 9

   Once the dough is firm, use a teaspoon to drop spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread out beautifully in the oven.

10. Step 10

    If you have any leftover dough, simply refrigerate it for a later baking session.

11. Step 11

    Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for around 8 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes—this helps them set up perfectly—before transferring them to a cooling rack.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await the moment you can savor these delicious treats!.
