Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cup butter softened
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- white sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and golden-brown cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a spatula or mixer.
- Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Optionally, chill the dough for about 30 minutes to enhance flavor and make handling easier.
- Scoop out portions of dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll into balls, then coat each ball in white sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove cookies from oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
