2. Add olive oil and butter and mix well.
3. Add eggs and mix well and press into a dough. No need to knead it. The dough should not stick to your hand. If it does, it is too wet, adjust by adding a bit of flour at a time.
4. Take a portion of the dough, sprinkle some flour on the board, roll into a flat layer of 2mm thick using a rolling pin over a plastic firm to avoid the dough from sticking onto the rolling pin.
5. Form into desired shapes. If it is too difficult to remove the cookies from the baking paper, then your dough is too wet, adjust with more flour a bit at a time.
6. Place in baking tray laid with baking paper.
7. Bake at 175 degree Celsius for 9-12 minutes.
