Ingredients

  • ½ cup (100 g) extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup (170 g) brown sugar, light or dark
  • ¼ cup (55 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth.
  3. Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Fold in orange zest if using.
  4. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, portion dough onto baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10–14 minutes until puffed with visible cracks and lightly browned on edges. Centers should still be soft.
  6. Cool cookies on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • No dough chilling required—these bake straight from the bowl.
  • Use high-quality olive oil for best flavor.
  • Add orange glaze or buttercream for variation.
