Ingredients:
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups, sifted, all-purpose flour

1/2-teaspoon salt
2/3 cup of vegetable oil
3/4 cup of sugar
Additional sugar is also need (set this aside for it will be used for the topping)
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. The first thing you have to do when baking any kind of cookie is to preheat the oven. You must do this to avoid waiting for the oven once the ingredients are all prepared. Just preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. The next step you will do is to sift the flour, salt and baking powder unto the mixing bowl. Mix the 3 ingredients until they are blended.
3. Next, beat the eggs in a bowl until they are ready. Add the oil, sugar and the vanilla extract. Mix the ingredients well. You must slowly add the flour mixture and the egg mixture together. Continue mixing until the mixture is already well blended. Once it is done, you can now place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. This will help firm up the mixture.
4. Use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon or a cereal spoon to drop the cookie dough unto the not greased cookie sheet. You must only use either a measuring spoon or cereal spoon only so that the cookies will be of the same size.
5. Then, dip the bottom part of the cup into water using a glass or plastic cup. After this, press the cookies on the additional sugar that was set aside so that they will become flat. The thickness of the cookies entirely depends on your preferences. You can make them thick or thin depending on your liking. Repeat this process for every cookie.
6. After this, place all the cookies inside the oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are cooked. Once the cookies are all cooked, place them on a cooling rack for just a few minutes. After this, you can now enjoy eating your sugar cookies.
