1
Put the flour and sugar into a bowl and mix with a spoon.
-
2
Mash up the lumps with the back of a spoon.
-
3
Add the oil, milk (soy milk) and vanilla essence (if using ).
-
4
Mix roughly with the spoon.
-
5
Put your hand in a plastic bag, and grab the dough.
-
6
Flip the bag inside out around the dough, so the dough is inside.
-
7
Massage the dough in the bag.
-
8
Roll out the dough while still in the bag about 2 to 3 mm thickness (I use 18 x 25 cm plastic bag) with a rolling pin on a cutting board.
-
9
Cut the dough over the bag into whatever shapes you like (the knife won't get dirty).
-
10
Open up the bag, line on a sheet of parchment paper (See the trick in the next step).
-
11
I want to make lots of cookies, so cut into small square shapes.
-
12
But it's hard to transfer them all to the parchment paper, so...
-
13
Place the parchment paper on top of the dough, cover with a baking pan, and turn upside down.
-
14
Turn the cutting board over quickly.
-
15
Then, the dough will be on the paper.
-
16
Remove the plastic bag.
-
17
That's my secret trick.
-
18
Bake for 13 minutes in a 170C preheated oven.
-
19
While the oven heats up, make some space between each cookie with a knife.
-
20
You can cut and break apart after baking, too.
-
21
After baking, leave in the oven, or on the baking tin until cooled (if you continue baking, adjust the cooking time not to burn them).
-
22
I bake a lot and keep them in a container to store in the freezer.
-
23
They are frozen cookies.
-
24
It's really tasty especially during hot summers.

This is a similar recipe that uses less sugar.)
