I've never heard of olive oil cookies but lemon sounds yummy so I bet they're delicious

They are! You use lemon olive oil. They aren't super sweet, kind of like snickerdoodles. They are dipped in sugar before being baked and crackle while baking. I love anything lemon especially in the spring/summer!

I love lemon too!  These sound amazing.  I have this cinnamon lemon drop cookie recipe that I used to make all the time, and then sort of forgot about it.  Last month I came across the recipe card and made them again, and they were so good.

There’s a lot of talk about cookies being thrown around in here and zero recipes. Ahem.

Here you go @levioosa : 

Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Sugar Cookies 

Prep Time: 45 mins Servings: 32 

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 t baking soda

1/2 t baking powder

1/2 t kosher salt

1 1/4 c granulated sugar, plus more for rolling

1/3c Meyer Lemon Olive oil

1 t vanilla extract 

2 large eggs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside

In a second large bowl, combine sugar and olive oil and mix with a spatula until it forms a grainy paste. Add eggs and vanilla and stir until smooth. Fold in dry ingredients until just incorporated. You should have a fairly soft oily dough.

Fill a small dish with more granulated sugar. Scoop dough by the tablespoonful into balls and roll in sugar to coat. Arrange on a nonstick or parchment lined baking sheet leaving 2 inches of space between cookies.

Bake for 11-13 minutes or until tops are puffed and crackly and edges just start to turn light brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made, but will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
