Olive Oil Shortbread Cookies
This easy sugar cookie recipe, using our Butter Infused Olive Oil, is simple and straightforward. You cream the fat with the sugar, add one egg and gently mix the flour. Since it’s made with half olive oil and half butter it will get creamy without much effort, so you don't need to whisk it a ton. Like a traditional shortbread cookie, these are meant to be crispy and crumbly, rather than soft.
