Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Sigona’s Persian lime olive oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour use 2 cups for a fluffier cookie
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp freshly ground green cardamom seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the sugar, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, beating in between additions until no dry flour remains. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
- Scoop rounded mounds of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet using approximately 3 teaspoons of dough per cookie and placing at least 1 1/2″ apart. Bake in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottom edges are just lightly browned (keep a close watch). Allow to rest on the tray for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

I loved these cookies and will be making again and again.
Note that the 1/2 flour in the recipe has to be a typo. There is no way it takes only 1/2 cup. I used 1 1/2 cup of flour and it was still very sticky but they turned out great.
Ack! Thank you for notifying us about that. Yes, it’s 1 1/2 cups.
