Olive oil cookies

December 20, 2015 By Mandarina Leave a Comment

These are maybe my all-time favorite cookies, where the olive oil taste matches perfectly the orange and cinnamon flavor.
My mom used to make them all the time and I expressed my support by eating them all.
I don’t know why they never come as perfect as when mom bakes them, maybe they lack mom’s touch or she has a secret that hasn’t shared with me.

Anyway they’re still very nice and somehow healthy. They’re also pretty easy to assemble. No rolling or chilling the dough. No fancy ingredients or techniques. And you may keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…
