Sugar cookies are my favorite-and I wished I would have paid attention to the recipe I used this one time that made them absolutely delicious. Sadly-I can't remember where I got it from. I guess I'll have to keep trying every recipe out there until I find it. Darn. Anyway, I tried this one last night-it's slightly similar to The Pioneer Woman's, but I don't think they're as crumbly or crisp. I don't like crisp cookies. I let the nieces help-which explains the width and height difference in the cookies-but they turned out surprisingly good despite all the different sizes. Thanks to Tiffany for taking a picture of these after I left! Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift together:
-
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 tsp double-acting baking powder
-
3/4 tsp salt
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon or 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (I did cinnamon)
Combine:
-
1 cup sugar
-
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Add to this mixture and beat well after each addition:
-
2 eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla (I always add a smidgen more... but that's me)
Add the flour mixture all at once and beat well. Shape the dough into 1/2 inch balls. Dip the balls in granulated sugar, or flatten them. Bake about 10 minutes on a lightly greased cookie sheet-do not let the edges brown!

Why, pray tell, would you WANT no butter cookies? I mean, they look divine and all but butter and chocolate make the world turn on its axis.
Do you want to stop the world?
BTW, my sister's baby and your little wonder were born the same weekend. Now go strap him on and go target shooting.
Haha, love the above comment... Not going to lie, I thought the same thing.... Isn't butter the entire point!:) they still sound good, cause it still has sugar;)
