Servings: persons

1
Cream butter, powdered sugar and granulated sugar for 10 minutes.
2
No joke.
3
10 minutes.
4
You want it light and foamy.
5
Kitchen Aids are perfect for this -- but regular beaters are fine.
6
Beat in egg.
7
Beat oil and vanilla in to the butter.
8
It will look a little curdled.
9
Don't worry.
10
It will come together with the dry ingredients.
11
Sift dry ingredients and gradually add to the creamed mixture.
12
This will have the consistency of muffin batter.
13
VERY SOFT.
14
Chill in the fridge overnight.
15
Or at least 4 hours.
16
Covered.
17
Form balls into well rounded teaspoons.
18
I use the Pampered Chef small cookie scoop.
19
Flatten with glass dipped in sugar.
20
I mix up the red and green sugar and flatten it with that.
21
At Valentines Day I use just red.
22
Easter I use pastel sugars -- you get the idea.
23
KEEP DOUGH CHILLED IN BETWEEN BATCHES!
24
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
25
Until just turning golden, but not brown.
26
Let cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet then remove to cooling rack.
27
I think these come out better on regular cookie sheets and not the air bake ones.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
