1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar and orange fused olive oil. Cream until smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
2
In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form large balls of dough, about two tablespoons each. Roll them into smooth balls and place six on the prepared baking sheet so they have plenty of room. Use the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar to press down each ball of dough, keeping them about 1/4-inch thick.
4
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes until the edges are crinkled. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
5
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange fused olive oil, and milk for the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional granulated sugar if desired. Store cookies in an airtight container.
