Milk and Oil Cookies

in

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.

As you know, my sweets, cookies, and cakes are always low in sugar but if you prefer, you can always increase the amount to your liking.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
