Makes: Approximately 24 cookies | Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup La Panza extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Happy Mother's Day!
