I made these olive oil cookies with my Hamilton Beach large oven which I had received from Blodadda and Hamilton beach for a review.

You need to get an oven glove as the large oven gets too hot while cooking food and you must be careful. I burnt my finger the first time I used it, but it was due to my excitement and negligence.

See the texture of the olive oil biscuits. They are baked to perfection. Along with these biscuits, I also baked potato wedges and vegetables like cauliflower and bell pepper.
