Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth.

2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

5. If desired, add in a dash of olive oil and any additional seasoning or spices for added flavor. Mix well.

6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

9. Bake the cookies in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
