Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set to the side. Beat the icing sugar, olive oil, lemon zest and juice in a free standing mixer on a medium speed until all ingredients are well mixed. The mixture will take on a bright yellow colour and smooth texture. Add in the egg and mix until well combined. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed. Turn the mixer down to low and add in one third of the flour mixture. Repeat this step two more times until all the flour mixture has been added and everything is well combined. Pre-line a baking tray and grease with olive oil. Use a cookie scoop to place cookie batter onto tray. Leave a generous amount of space in between each cookie as they will expand when baking. You will need two medium sized baking trays. Bake your cookies for 15 - 16 minutes. Leave your cookies to cool on a cooling rack and pour the lemon drizzle and a sprinkling of lemon zest onto each individual cookie. For the drizzle, mix your icing sugar and lemon juice together until you have a smooth and pouring consistency. You can always add more lemon juice if your drizzle is too thick or more icing sugar if it is too thin.View original recipe
