Lemon Olive Oil Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Lemon Olive Oil Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Yields 32 cookies

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
-1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
-1 1/2 teaspoons Sonoma Farm Infused lemon olive oil
-2 large eggs
-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
-3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour. Set the mixture aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, lemon olive oil, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt; mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in the oats until completely combined. Next, fold in the flour and currant mixture and mix until there are no longer any specks of flour.

4. Using a 2-inch cookie scooper, drop rounds of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2-inches apart and flattening each cookie slightly. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies’ edges are lightly golden brown. Place the cookies on a cooling rack and repeat the baking process until you’ve baked through all of the dough. Cookies are good for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
