My grandmother's recipe. These cookies have always been wonderful treats for family and visitors alike. I like to make an extra-large batch, setting aside a good portion of the cookies; then I place them in the freezer for future use. Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
2/3 cup vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon grated lemon, zest |
additional sugar (for topping) |
Directions:
1. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Whisk eggs in a large bowl until frothy.
3. Add sugar, oil, vanilla and lemon zest; mix well.
4. Stir the dry ingredients into egg mixture till well blended.
5. Chill, covered for 30 minutes or more.
6. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
7. Dip bottom of a flat-bottomed glass with water and dip glass into additional sugar.
8. Press top of each cookie gently with the glass to flatten.
9. Repeat with water and dipping in sugar for each cookie.
10. Bake in 400° oven till cookies are lightly browned.
11. Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets.
12. Then cool completely on wire racks.
13. Store in airtight containers.
