Skinny Easter Sugar Cookies

Skinny Easter Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Cookies:

  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat butter
  • 1 cup extra fine sugar, such as C&H Bakers Sugar or regular sugar, see shopping tips
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 egg, I like Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tarter, see shopping tips
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Ingredients for Rolling:

  • ½ to ¾ cup assorted colored sugar, see shopping tips

Instructions
 

  • In an electric mixer or large bowl using a hand mixer, mix together the oil, butter and sugar.  Beat on high until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla.  Add flour, cream of tarter, baking soda, vanilla and salt.  Mix until smooth.
  • Place the batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.  It’s easier to roll after refrigerated.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking pans, (cooking sheets) with parchment paper, see shopping tip.
  • In a small bowl, add the ½ cup or more sugar for rolling.  If using several colors, place each color in a separate small bowl.
  • Scoop the batter into rounded 1-inch pieces and roll in sugar.  Place each on lined baking pans.
  • Bake cookies for 11 minutes, then rotate pans and bake for about 12 more minutes. This will create a crispy cookie when cooled.  If you desire softer cookies, bake for the 8 minutes, rotate pans and bake for another 8 minutes.  Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.  They will last for several weeks. if baked crispy.
