Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Optional toppings (chocolate sauce, sprinkles, etc.)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the mixture is too crumbly, stir in the milk one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into your desired shapes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature for frying.
Fry the cookies in small batches, 2-3 at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the cookies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the cookies are still warm, dust them with powdered sugar. Add optional toppings like chocolate sauce or sprinkles if desired.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
