(Makes about 4 dozen cookies)

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup Beyond the Olive California Blend extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

Line cookie sheets with nonstick foil, or lightly grease with olive oil. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, then set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil and vanilla. Using a spatula, stir the two mixtures together until well combined. If needed, add milk to soften the mixture. Drop rounded tsps of mixture onto cookie sheets approximately 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with holiday colors.
