Glad this looks good to you. I just want to make sure you guys know this is pretty sweet. Might not work as an appetizer as it definitely is closer to dessert. I imagine you could make some adjustments to make it more savory... Bonjour, Chez Us. Glad this looks good to you. I just want to make sure you guys know this is pretty sweet.

Printed it ever since you posted it and last night while watching the Sharks win, I made these little guys. My batter was pretty dry, so I smooshed them with the heal of my hands instead of rolling it. I think they came out well anyway. Too bad I burned my tongue the morning of, so it was hard for me to taste it to the fullest. I brought some with me to work this morning and people say they are great. I'm making a second batch as soon as I get home and bringing them to a dinner party tonight. Thank you for broadening my dessert palate! I made them, finally!

I was obsessed with them when I first saw this recipe. Here's what I learned: they really would be good for dessert, rather than as a savory with cheese. There's just enough sweetness to make it 'desserty'. Someone above recommended lemon ice cream, that would be good, I might go with something like basil ice cream or something herby. I had to up the olive oil to 1/2 cup - that's the only way I could get the dough to stick together. I just used kalamatas from Trader Joe's. Next time, I might up the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp. My tastebuds were really glomming onto that cinnamon and sugar combo to offset the olive and lemon taste. You don't taste the olives so much as FEEL them, yet the cookie is not overly salty. I tossed a little tiny pinch of rosemary in there too. Fantastic fantastic recipe - oh yeah, I'd double it next time too. I only got 10 cookies with the one as written. More please!

I always vote in favor of trying. Give it a go with the green, but again look for really mild olives. The flavor of the olive intensifies when it is cooked and so you need to start off with the mildest olive possible. Let me know how it goes! Hi Linda! I always vote in favor of trying.

It sounds so delicious to me -- rustic, earthy -- like something an Italian great-grandfather would make to serve after a family supper overlooking the vineyard. Ha - I wish!
