week EleveN: Olive oil cookies


Back home we use olive oil every time we cook. I guess it never crosses our minds to use any different source of fat. However, using olive oil to bake still seems a bit unusual.
These olive oil cookies are a typical recipe from my grandparents little village, right in the boarder with Spain. People use to make them as a gift for guests in weedings. They taste like countryside! The olive oil bitterness and sweet smell blends perfectly with sugar. The cookies are crunchy outside and they crumble in our mouth as we taste them.
