1 piece (medium) of Olive oil cookie (25 g) has 120 calories. That works out to 480 calories per 100 g. It contains 15.5 g of carbs, 1.3 g of protein, 5.8 g of fat and 0.6 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 65 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
An olive oil cookie is a simple home-baking style biscuit made with flour, olive oil and sugar; recipes may also include citrus zest or spices. It is not tied to one particular Turkish region, but fits the everyday tradition of homemade sweets. The olive oil gives the dough its characteristic richness without relying on butter.
These cookies are often lightly crisp at the edges and tender inside, with a flavour that depends on the oil used. In Turkey they are commonly served with tea; elsewhere, enjoy one with coffee or as a small afternoon treat. They are mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with comparatively little protein or fibre. For a lighter snack, keep the portion modest and pair it with fresh fruit.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Olive oil cookies are made by mixing olive oil with sugar and the recipe’s other wet ingredients, then adding flour and shaping the dough. Mix just until it comes together; overworking the dough can make the cookies tough.
Olive oil cookies can have a noticeable fruity or peppery flavor, especially when made with a robust extra-virgin oil. Choose a mild-tasting oil if you want the cookie’s citrus, spice, or sweet notes to stand out more.
Yes, extra-virgin olive oil works in olive oil cookies and gives them a more pronounced, fruity aroma. If you are unsure how its flavor will come through, try a mild extra-virgin oil rather than a strongly peppery one.
Olive oil cookies can spread when the dough is too warm or too soft, or when the baking sheet is still hot. Chill the shaped dough before baking and place it on a cool, lined sheet to help the cookies hold their shape.
Yes, olive oil can replace butter in many cookie recipes, but the result will not be identical. Butter is solid when cool and contains some water, while olive oil stays liquid, so the cookies may feel softer and have a different aroma.
To keep olive oil cookies from turning out dry, avoid adding too much flour and take them out before they become deeply browned. They may still feel slightly soft when hot; they firm up as they cool.
Yes, you can prepare olive oil cookie dough ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Chilling can make soft dough easier to shape; let it sit briefly at room temperature if it becomes too firm to handle.
Citrus zest, rosemary, cinnamon, and chocolate all pair well with olive oil cookies. Lemon or orange highlights the oil’s fruity notes, while a little rosemary gives the cookies a savory edge.
Olive oil cookies keep well for several days when fully cooled and stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid sealing them while warm, since trapped steam can soften their texture.
Yes, baked olive oil cookies can be frozen in an airtight container once completely cool. Thaw them at room temperature before serving. You can also freeze portions of dough and bake them after thawing.
