This is a variation on a sugar cookie made with coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon sugar works well, too.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat sugar, butter, and coconut oil together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda gradually; mix until dough just comes together.
Step 3
Mix dough with hands to fully incorporate ingredients. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are cracked, 10 to 12 minutes.
