Walnut Oil and Fig Balsamic Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Walnut Olive Oil (from The Little Shop of Olive Oils)
• 1 tsp Fig Balsamic Vinegar (from The Little Shop of Olive Oils)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the Walnut Olive Oil, Fig Balsamic Vinegar, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
• Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together and is smooth.
• Using a cookie press or a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in small, flower-shaped or round patterns. You can also roll the dough into small balls and flatten them with a fork for a simple design.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cookies have cooled, they can be dusted with powdered sugar if desired.  Enjoy!
