Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 stick Butter melted
  • 4 cups Flour

Instructions

  1. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, cardamom, vanilla, oil, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Continue whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Add in the melted butter and give it a quick whisk to incorporate it into the batter
  3. Add in the flour slowly. Make sure to not overwork the batter. You don't want to fully knead it, just mix until everything is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. It should be thick but not doughy.
  4. Add the cookie batter to your cookie press and press out the cookies onto a greased baking pan.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees until the lower 1/3 of the cookies are golden brown. Optionally, you can then set the oven to a low broil and broil the cookies for about 2-3 minutes until the tops are also golden brown.
  6. Allow cookies to cool before serving
