Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (I used canola oil)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used Bourbon vanilla extract)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sugar with oil, water, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 – 60 minutes (not required but helps cookies retain their shape while baking).
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Remove dough from the refrigerator and scoop around 2 tablespoons per cookie. Press the mounds down with your palm to flatten slightly. Fill one sheet with 12 cookies and use remaining dough on second sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies should be puffed up and very lightly browned on the bottom (but not on the edges or tops).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on the pan for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
- Great straight out of the the oven. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
