Yes, I’ve been on an olive oil kick recently. What can I say – it’s healthy and makes baked goods so light and delicate! And as a Mark Bittman devotee, when I came across this recipe and saw it incorporated olive oil, saffron and citrus I knew I had to give it a try. An unlikely combination in a baked good but I promise it is successful and even the picky will enjoy it.

| Saffron Olive Oil Cookies with Orange Glaze |
The result is a moist, pillowy cookie with a subtle taste of saffron.

| So pillow. Much wow! |
The cookies are just barely sweet so I decided to add an orange glaze (this recipe, but with 3x the orange juice) to give it a bit of sweetness and tang.
What’s your favorite unexpected food combination?
I would like a few boxes of these cookies. Do you ship to Timbuktu?
How about cardamom, orange zest and olive oil?
I’m sure it can be arranged! That combo sounds delicious!
Not sure if I like the puffy cookies or the pretty piccies more!! When shall I bring my posse over to b-p-c for a tasting ceremony?!!!!!!!

Thanks!
What a perfect combination of favors! And the texture looks pretty amazing, too!
As for unusual combinations, my current odd combination is a banana curry from the Caribbean. But once I find an odd combination, if I like it, it ceases to be unusual. Do you find that as well? ~ David
That sounds amazing, and you are totally right… 🙂
