olive oil in cookies—amazing!!! that is one for the books. I am looking forward to trying this. FRom past experience I have found that I have almost past up a very good recipe just by looking at the ingredients alone. Some of my favorite recipes (saurkraut cake, for instance) have “different” ingredients in them.

Lemon, olive oil and almond are three of my all-time favorite flavors! I’m anxious to try these cookies - and I especially love that I probably have all the ingredients already on hand

Olive oil in cookies? Those sound very intriguing! I’ll have to give them a try since I don’t think I’ve ever had olive oil (which I love in a lot of things) in cookies. They look really good!

I will have to agree with you there. Hands down, olive oil is a sexy igrendient… I know what you mean about its nutty, wonderful flavor. These cookies sound great!

I have baked an orange corneal cake with olive oil, but haven’t tried it in cookies. These look so good!

oh, i love olive oil in little cakes and things (even had a great olive oil gelato once at one of mario batali’s places), so i’ll bet these are delicious!

I’ll admit, I was apprehensive. Olive oil is great, but mixed with sweet things, I wasn’t too sure. I also took these to another level and made them vegan (added 2/3 cup of apple sauce instead of eggs, soymilk for whole milk), so when I tasted the dough/batter and it wasn’t so great, and I was upset. But when they came out of the oven, and drizzled with glaze? Mmmm. Good, definitely good. Bizarre, but in a really lovely way.

I agree with Amanda, and find your beginning a dissertation on alternative uses for olive oil intrigueing. Tell us more, about how olive oil might be applied to Joy…
