recipe taken from the Georgia Market Bulletin, Jan 2010
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 2 teaspoons vinegar
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine sugar, oil and vanilla in large bowl of electric mixer. Mix well; add eggs, beating well. Stir in baking soda dissolved in vinegar; add flour and stir to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to 1/4 inch thick and cut our with a 3-inch round cutter. Bake on lightly greased baking sheet for 10 minutes or until light brown. Remove to wire racks to cook. Yield: 4-5 dozen, depending on size cutter used.
Testing note: These are crisp, not too sweet cookies from our grandmother's day when sugar was rationed. Some recipes call for sprinkling the warm cookies with a sugar and cinnamon mixture. They are wonderful with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
