Tangerine Butter Cookies

August 5, 2014 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 40 Comments

Even though it was in the 90’s this last week, I fired up the oven to bake these babies. Had to. I was craving it, and I’ve had it bookmarked for so long.

Tangerine Butter Cookies by Bakers Royale

I’ll admit the idea of a tangerine cookie was the first thing to hook me, but I bookmarked it because I was so curious to see how olive oil would bake up in a cookie. Olive oil in a cake is killer, and I use it often, but olive oil in cookies is new to me.

Let me just say, you need to make this! It’s killer—soft, tender, flavorful. For those of you who are curious about the taste–it’s rich in citrus flavor, without a hint of olive oil. It’s one of my new favorite new cookies, and one that I’ll be working into my holiday baking rotation. Yes, that’s right, it’s only August and I’m already thinking holiday baking and cookies—can’t wait!

This recipe makes a huge batch, so I did  two different stamps on top and added a third variation of with a glazed topped and then sprinkled some citrus zest and lavender on top.

    These look so blissful and elegant, and your food photography captures this perfectly. I love baking with olive oil as well, and often replace vegetable oil with this as a healthier alternative.

    Hi I would love to make these cookies but was just wondering if I could substitute the 1/2 cup of almond flour with all purpose flour?

  39. Kbart says

    December 15, 2014 at 11:49 am

    These look lovely! Thinking lemon would work just as well??

  40. Kelly says

    August 30, 2015 at 5:29 am

    Made these last night. LOVE the use of the olive oil. I think the swap of almond flour for the corn meal was a great move and thanks for the suggestion of the glaze. I could not taste the citrus flavor in the cookie as much as I would like so the glaze helps. Next time I would add more zest and tangerine extract. But very nice cookie. Yours of course look better than mine.
