No-Roll Sugar Cookies with Coconut Oil

Ingredients

Yield: 5 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

•1 cup Coco Treasure Unrefined Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

•1 cup white sugar

•1 egg

•1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

•2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

•½ teaspoon baking powder

•½ teaspoon baking soda

•¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Preparation

Cream coconut oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until ingredients are well incorporated.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to the creamed by stirring in approximately 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time. Beat lightly to combine ingredients between each third.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. After chilling, shape dough into 1-inch balls, roll each one in granulated sugar and placed on a greased cookie sheet at least two inches apart.

Flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a drinking glass. Each cookie should be approximately ½-inch thick. Dip the glass in sugar if it starts getting sticky.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. Cookies should be set but not browned.

Remove from oven and cool for 1-2 minutes before using a spatula to transfer to a wire rack. Decorate after cookies are completely cooled.
