How to Make Easy Sugar Cookies

Here is an easy and quick way to make delicious sugar cookies. Anyone can do this, even if you can't boil water!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, Sifted
• 2 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 2 Large Eggs
• 3/4 Cup Sugar, and additional sugar set aside for the topping
• 2/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Sift the flour, the baking powder and the salt into a mixing bowl. Mix until well blended.

3. Beat eggs in a large bowl until the eggs are well blended. Add the sugar, the oil, and the vanilla to the eggs. Mix Well. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Mix until mixture is well blended. Place mixture in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes. (This is just to firm the mixture a little, but is not obligatory.)

4. Using a cereal spoon or a 1 TBSP measuring spoon (so that cookies will be uniform is size), drop the cookie dough onto UNGREASED cookie sheet. Using a plastic or glass cup, dip bottom of the cup into water, then in the additional sugar that was originally set aside, and press the cookies so that they are flat. How thick they cookies are is entirely dependent on your preferences. Repeat for each cookie.

5. Place cookies in oven and bake for 8 minutes. Place cookies on cooling rack for a few minutes. Enjoy!
