Sunshine Lemon Cookies

For Tinted Sugar In a small bowl add 1/2 cup white sugar, add 1-2 drops of yellow food coloring and mix well with a fork until your sugar has turned yellow. Directions Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, salt and baking soda together. In another small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then mix lightly until it resembles wet sand . Using your hands, roll into one inch balls. Roll cookie balls in a little tinted sugar and roll in your hands to distribute it. Put the cookies about 2 inches apart on cookie sheets and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Makes about 36 to 40 cookies. Tips: You may need to add a little more flour, so keep it aside when your mixing ingredients. You may also use more or less lemon juice depending on the size of your lemons. I used medium sized lemons.
