Preparation

Chef’s notes

Recipe adapted, through trial and error, from Joy of Cooking and Wendy Paul Creations.
Yields about 32 cookies.
A gluten-free flour blend may work well. If using oat flour, you'll need at least 3 ½ cups since oat flour weighs less by volume than whole wheat flour.
Make your own powdered sugar:
pour 1 cup sugar into a blender or food processor and blend until fine and fluffy. I used fine grain organic cane sugar.
Recipe updated 12/22:
temperature reduced by 25 degrees and baking time extended to reduce browning of the olive oil.
