Twisted Cookies

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 3 extra-large eggs
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup canola oil
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375f; have ready cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
• 2 put sugar and cinnamon in the bowl of your food processor, fitted with the steel blade.
• 3 pulse quickly, just until mixed, then empty mixture onto a pie plate.
• 4 now put the eggs, brown sugar and oil into the bowl of your food processor and pulse for a few seconds, until blended.
• 5 add baking powder and flour to mixture and pulse just until the flour disappears-- it is important not to overprocess or the cookies will be tough.
• 6 use about 1 tbsp of this dough to form cookie into the twist of your choice-- i used to form capital letters when my son was young, making alphabet cookies.
• 7 roll cookies in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on prepared cookie sheets.
• 8 bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned-- if you've made fairly large twisted cookies, you'll likely need the full 15 minutes.
