This recipe has no need for butter, shortening, or margarine. Olive oil gives it the perfect crispy bite without the need for excess fat, like most cookies. These cookies are also egg-free and gluten-free, which means the balance of ingredients is quite important. So be sure to measure the ingredients accurately.
