These delectable cookies are like a cross between sugar cookies and shortbread! Using any of our fresh citrus olive oils, such as Orange, Persian Lime, Lemon makes these versatile and oh, so delicious!! Even if you don’t want the citrus twist, just use our all natural Butter Olive Oil (it’s vegan) instead of the citrus olive oil! Choose from an array of organic sugars and/or sea salts from the Olive Us collection to sprinkle on top and make your own creations!!
