Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  4. Do not undercream or overcream. (Undercreamed butter/sugar looks yellow and dense. Overcreamed butter/sugar looks white and greasy.).
  5. Add eggs, mixing until blended.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
  7. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, stirring until combined.
  8. If dough seems dry or flakey, knead slightly.
  9. Scoop up ping-pong ball sized dollops of dough.
  10. Roll between your hands to form a 5-inch long snake , even throughout the length.
  11. (if dough is too sticky to handle at this point, you will need to add a small amount of flour to the dough to make it workable).
  12. Brings ends of the snake together, slightly folding one end over the other, to form a donut-shape with a small hole in the middle.
  13. Place cookies 1-2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  14. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let rest on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to rack to cool.
  16. Enjoy!
