Course cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
  • Add eggs, oil and extracts. Mix well
  • Mix in flour. Use your hands for this step!
  • Cover and chill for 1 hour
  • Preheat oven at 375 degrees
  • Using ungreased sandbakkels molds, press 1 tablespoon dough into each mold. Start at the bottom of the mold and press up. Not to thick.
  • Bake cookies in molds for 8-10 Minutes. Until they appear set and just begin to brown around the edges.
  • Cool cookies for 2-3 minutes in molds. When cool to the touch , remove cookie from molds.
    If they get stuck in the mold squeeze the sides of the mold or tap gently with a knife.
  • Let cool on a cookie rack. Don't stack until fully cooled. I line up racks and towels and let them cool for 20 min after last set comes out of the oven before stacking.
