- 100 g butter
- 270 g granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla sugar
- 100 g neutral vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking ammonia (ammonium carbonate)
- 270 g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add Vanilla Sugar and Oil: Mix in the vanilla sugar and vegetable oil gradually while continuing to beat the mixture until well combined.

- Bake: Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are light and crisp.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
