Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute olive oil with another type of oil?
Yes, you can substitute olive oil with vegetable oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil. However, keep in mind that each oil may slightly change the flavor of the cookies.
How should I store the cinnamon and lemon cookies to maintain freshness?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to two weeks or freeze them for up to three months.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky to shape into balls?
If your dough is too sticky, try adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Make sure not to add too much flour, as it could affect the final texture of the cookies.
