• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and grease a cookie sheet.
• Mix egg, oil, vanilla and sugar in a bowl.
• Add food coloring if using and mix well.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt and mix well. Dough will be soft.

Method 1:

• Make dough into balls, using about one tablespoon of dough per cookie. Place sugar in a small dish and dip the top of each ball into the sugar, then place on the cookie sheet, sugar side up, about 2″ apart.

Method 2:

• Drop dough by tablespoons onto the cookie sheet. Wet the bottom of a glass and dip it in the sugar, then press each cookie so it’s about 1/4″ thick.
• If preferred, decorate with sprinkles or anything else that can be baked.
• Bake about 6 minutes. Do NOT overbake.
• Remove from oven and let cookies sit for about 1 minute before removing to a plate or cooling rack. If making another sheet full, let cookie sheet cool before putting dough on it or the cookies will spread out too much.
• When cool, if desired, cookies may be frosted or decorated further.
