Mexican Lime EVOO Zesty Sugar Cookie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Twisted Olive Mexican Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Zest of 1 lime

2 tbsp lime juice

Extra granulated sugar for rolling

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the Twisted Olive Mexican Lime EVOO and granulated sugar until well combined.

3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lime zest.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Add the lime juice and mix until the dough comes together.

6. Roll the dough into small balls and then roll each ball in extra granulated sugar to coat.

7. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.

8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
