Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup light olive oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

2–3 tablespoons unsweetened milk of choice

1 cup powdered sugar, plus additional if needed, for thickening

2–3 tablespoons fresh blood orange juice*

⅛ teaspoon salt

Blood orange slices, for topping

Sugar, for topping

For cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheet.
In large bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Add olive oil, vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir until
crumbly dough forms. Add two tablespoons milk; stir until soft dough ball forms, adding more milk if needed.
Place dough ball on lightly floured surface. Roll out dough until ¼-inch thick. Using a jar lid or cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place them on baking sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes (do not overbake). Set aside to cool.
For glaze, in a small bowl, stir powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and salt until thick glaze forms. Add more juice, if needed, to thin out glaze or add more powdered sugar to thicken.
When cookies are cooled, glaze them. Top with blood orange slices and a pinch of sugar.
