Olive oil has more fat than butter. It’s 100% fat, whereas butter contains water. Butter is lower in calories, and healthy in different way. They both fulfill nutritional needss. The cookies do however look intriguing! Bet the combo of flavors is so good.

The second batch of these cookies is in the oven as we speak. I’ve taken liberal samplings of the batter, and first batch- delightful! The olive oil is very nuanced, subtle, and aromatic. It blends in well with the lemon. I added white whole wheat flour (1 1/2 cups, then reg. flour) which gave a slightly nutty texture.
delicioso!

addendum- Jack might want to just try lemon juice instead of the almond- it sure is good!

Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe! Ever the sceptic of long directions, I just threw everything together in one bowl and turned on the mixer- I don’t think it made any difference as my results seem to line up with everyone else’s. Also, I squeezed a little lemon into the glaze for a lemonier cookie- fabulous!!

These look great; can’t wait to try them. Just a small correction…olive oil does not contain less fat than butter, being just about 100% fat with a few traces of other substances. It does contain a lot of monounsaturated fat however, which is healthy fat.

I just made these – haven’t tasted them yet but word from everyone else is they are delicious! I agree with the olive oil.. fresh baguette + olive oil and a glass (or two ) or red wine would be my dinner every night if there was any healthy way to justify it! Olive oil also goes really really well with chocolate.. I highly recommend olive oil brownies..

Merry Christmas

Mmmmmmm. Just made them and let me just say mmmm again! I haven’t even put the glaze on and I love them. They are the perfect kind of cookie for me, not too sweet and just a little tangy Love em.

hey Jack! You might just leave the almond extract out of the glaze, or insteadm substitute a splash of vanilla extract.
