Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or potato starch
- 1 tsp baker's ammonia
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter softened but not too soft
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift together flour, cornstarch, baker’s ammonia, and salt (if using); set aside.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If mixing by hand, blend the butter and the sugar with a spatula or wooden spoon until they are mixed well. Mix in vanilla. Slowly add the oil to the butter mixture and continue to mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and continue mixing until well incorporated. The dough will be on the dryer side.
- Shape the dough into 24 balls and place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until firm and cracked on top.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes and then transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely.
