Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup neutral seed oil (like sunflower or canola)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached preferred)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking ammonia (or 1 tsp baking powder as substitute)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 packet of vanillin)
- Granulated sugar (for rolling cookies)
👩🍳 Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the seed oil, then the milk, mixing well.
- Add in baking ammonia (or baking powder) and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add flour, mixing first with a whisk or fork, then kneading by hand until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth. No need to add extra flour — the dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Shape dough into a log and cut into 25g-sized chunks (roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons each).
- Roll each cookie in granulated sugar to coat the outside completely.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes. For smaller cookies, check at 10–15 minutes.
- Let cool completely before serving or storing.
