Ingredients

Cookies:
3 Cups unbleached flour
2 Cups brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dried ground Cardamom
1 Cup Persian Lime Infused Olive Oil
2 large eggs, whisked
Icing:
1/4 cup Icing Sugar
1 tsp Coconut White Balsamic, to taste (optional)

Directions

Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, Persian Lime Olive Oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour and remaining dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions beating in between additions until no dry flour remains.
Scoop approximately two teaspoons of dough per cookie, and place the rounded mounds at about 1 1/2″ intervals onto a well greased or parchment lined cookie sheet pan. Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes.
Increase the heat to 425 F and bake for an additional 2 minutes to aid in creating a crackly golden brown exterior. Remove the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remainder of the dough.
Icing:
Add ‘about’ 1 tsp of Coconut White Balsamic and stir into the icing sugar. Add more by drops if necessary until it joins together and no crumbs remain. Drizzle over cooling cookies.
