This cookie is probably the easiest cookie I make and one of the most liked because of its delicious simplicity. It's quick and has ingredients most kitchens have available at a moment's notice. This recipe has been in my family for 90+ years.
1 Cup sugar
3 Cups flour
3 eggs
3/4 C oil
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
Optional (but amazing): 1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
Optional: nuts and/or chocolate chips.
Cream eggs and sugar. Add oil, lemon juice. Add flour, baking powder and soda.
Roll into 4 "snakes" to fit the length of 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
Optional: Sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar or plain sugar.
Bake 350 15 min.
While hot, run a long knife under the loaves to loosen from pan, then slice into 1/2" slices. Optional: slice on the diagonal
for a slightly longer cookie.
Mandatory: eat all the ends before you toast everything else :-)
Turn all slices on their sides, then toast until they look toasted.
Note: All of the "optionals" are truly optional. The cookie is delicious without the "optionals".
This is a GREAT dunking treat!
