Notes
- You can use sunflower or canola oil. It's also possible to use melted butter or margarine.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container in a cool and dry place for up to 5 days.
- Freezing the cookies: Place the cookies in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to 4 months. To serve, place them on a plate or baking sheet and thaw at room temperature.
- Freezing the cookie dough: Form the dough into a disk (or two small disks), wrap tightly in saran wrap and freeze for up to 6 months. To bake, thaw the dough in the fridge overnight and then proceed with the baking instructions.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, use an electric hand mixer or simply a wooden spoon or a spatula.
