Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- Egg: 1 large
- Yogurt (or Kefir): 150ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp)
- Sugar: 2 tbsp + extra for sprinkling
- Vegetable Oil: 70ml (5 tbsp)
- Vanilla: 1 tsp
- Salt: To taste
- Baking Powder: 1 tsp
- Flour: 300–320g (2½ cups)
Directions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt (or kefir), sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Add the baking powder to the mixture and mix well.
2. Add the Flour
Gradually add the flour in 2–3 additions, mixing well each time.
Gently knead the dough until it is soft and slightly sticky but manageable.
3. Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
4. Roll and Shape
Take each dough ball and roll it out into a thin layer using a rolling pin.
Sprinkle sugar evenly over the surface.
Roll the dough into a log and dip one side into sugar for added crunch.
5. Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the rolled cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and slightly puffed.
6. Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
