Angel Sugar Cookies

I've had a bit sweeter than normal sweet tooth lately so it was of no surprise that I thought I needed to make some cookies this past weekend.  It's also no secret that I'm a big fan of The Pioneer Woman so I thought a recipe from her cookbook was only appropriate.  This is how I came to make Angel Sugar Cookies over the weekend and they did not disappoint.


Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup canola oil
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for the tops of the cookies
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar


Directions
Cream together eggs, oil, butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla.



Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.



Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.  When you take the dough out of the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop balls of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  (I did line my cookie sheets with parchment paper.)


Smear butter on the bottom of a glass, then dip it into granulated sugar.



Use the glass to flatten the balls of dough, dipping into the sugar each time.


Repeat until all are flattened.


Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are just barely turning brown around the edges.


Cool before eating... I dare you to wait. :-)

  3. So do those turn out fluffy and soft or are they the crunchy kind?
