The milk and oil cookies are incredibly delicious yet so simple to make.
The dough is also suitable for those intolerant to EGGS, as they are not used.
These cookies are low in sugar but crumbly and suitable for dunking. However, if you wish to sweeten them a bit more compared to mine, there’s no objection to adding more sugar in the preparation.
But let’s start making them😋

Ingredients
Let’s see what ingredients are needed to make the recipe
- 3 1/4 cups type 2 flour (or the flour you prefer)
- 1/4 cup sugar (I use cane sugar or whichever you prefer)
- 2 tbsps sugar (to roll them after shaping)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 lemon zest (grated)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 packet vanillin (or vanilla paste)
Tools
No special tools needed, just a bowl or the countertop, your hands, and a fork.
Steps
In a bowl, start mixing the sugar and the zest of a whole grated lemon. Do this with your hands or a fork.
This process releases the aromas and oils contained in the lemon zest, making them even more pronounced in the cookies.
After this, add the oil, milk, the pinch of salt, the vanillin, and the baking powder, and continue blending well with the fork.
Now incorporate the flour by sifting it gradually and continue working with the fork until the dough is no longer soft, and our hands can finish the work.
We will get a nice, soft, and smooth dough which we’ll cut into small logs to form our cookies.
Once cut, we will roll them over the 2 tablespoons of sugar listed among the ingredients.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated ventilated oven at 356°F for about 15 minutes.
Before turning off the oven, check the cookies; they should be golden, crisp on the outside, and softer inside. TRY THEM AND LET ME KNOW
TIPS
The cookies can be stored for 4 or 5 days in a glass or tin cookie jar.
