These cookies are so simple that even your children can take charge! In the photo above, my 10 year old made them on her own from start to finish. there is no margarine, and the best part- no waiting for the dough to chill.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
3 cups flour (adjust as needed for consistency)
Instructions:
Mix It Up:
In a bowl, beat together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of oil and 3/4 cup of sugar until well combined.
Add:
To the egg, oil and sugar mixture, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of almond extract. Mix it all up.
Gradually Add Flour:
Gradually incorporate 3 cups of flour into the mixture. Adjust the amount as needed to achieve a good cookie dough consistency. (More or less.)
Roll and Cut:
Roll the dough on a floured surface, use cookie cutters to shape the cookies.
Decorate:
Let the creativity flow as you decorate the cookies in any way you like. Sprinkles, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar – the choice is yours!
Bake to Perfection:
Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them depending on your oven. When they're golden around the edges, they're ready.
These Chanukah cookies are not just tasty but also a delightful activity for the whole family.
