Extra virgin olive oil cookies: the recipe for becoming a child again

1. Beat the sugar with the egg in a bowl until the mixture is thick and lighter.

2. Add the oil flush and lemon juice, continuing to beat. Combine the sifted flour and baking powder.

3. Mix everything together with a pastry spatula in a bottom-up motion and add a pinch of salt.

4. Once the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, take a little at a time with a spoon and pour onto a baking sheet covered with baking paper.

5. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes (the cookies will be ready when they begin to darken).

6. Once baked, let the cookies cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
