Shortbread cookies with vegetable oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make shortbread cookies with vegetable oil? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Take refined, odorless vegetable oil. Be sure to wash your eggs before using. In a deep bowl or blender bowl with a mixer, beat them with sugar, salt and a pinch of vanilla into a thick foam.

2. STEP 2

   

   If there are no electric assistants, you can use a regular whisk, the only thing is that it will take more time.

3. STEP 3

   

   If you beat the ingredients in a blender bowl, then pour the mixture into a deep bowl, because it will be difficult to continue kneading the dough in that container. Pour in vegetable oil and mix the mixture again. You can use a simple whisk.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add sifted wheat flour combined with baking powder in small portions. Wheat flour must be sifted, regardless of what dough it is used for. Firstly, to remove various types of impurities from flour, and secondly, to saturate the product with oxygen. This will make the baked goods more fluffy and airy.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add flour in small portions, mixing well each time. Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour than stated in the recipe. You will look at the consistency of the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the dough becomes so thick that it becomes difficult to mix with a spoon, turn it out onto a floured work surface and continue kneading with your hands. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough turns out to be quite soft and sticky, since it is prepared not with butter, but with vegetable oil; it does not need to be cooled in the refrigerator. Roll out the dough into a layer about 0.5 cm thick. Sprinkle the table with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Using a glass or other cutter, cut out cookie dough from the dough. You can simply cut it into squares or diamonds.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the cookie dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20 minutes, but in general you need to focus on the operation of your oven. There is no need to keep the cookies in the oven for a long time; as soon as they turn golden brown, remove them.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cool the finished cookies a little, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, or grease them with jam or preserves. Serve the cookies. Enjoy your tea!

I usually bake shortbread cookies with butter. Next time I will try this option with vegetable oil. It should turn out pretty good.

I’ve already made these shortbread cookies in vegetable oil before, and when I bought new cookie cutters, I checked my QC and settled on this one. Cookies are prepared quickly, from simple ingredients, with the addition of vegetable oil, not butter. I make half a batch so that the cookies fit on one baking sheet. I'm very pleased with the recipe! The cookies turn out very tasty, crumbly, not hard, even after they sit for several days. After making cookies several times, I realized that we like it better when the cookies are not very thin. The cookie dough is prepared quickly, rolls out easily, and the designs that I make with the help of molds are clearly visible on it. I beat the eggs and sugar by hand. I did not change the composition and quantity of ingredients in this recipe. Bake in the oven until lightly browned. The main thing is not to overdo it. Now with new molds I make these cookies often. Many thanks to the author for this recipe! This is how it turns out)))

I made shortbread cookies in vegetable oil for dessert. It is prepared simply and quickly. The dough turned out very soft and tender. I used 160 grams of flour (high grade). I used category C1 eggs. I formed the cookies with a teaspoon. I got 12 pieces. I baked the cookies at 180 degrees on siliconized parchment for 15 minutes. The cookies turned out just wonderful! It is crispy, crumbly, but does not crumble at all when broken. Its taste is very pleasant, moderately sweet.katushafin, thank you very much for the excellent recipe!

Thank you for the recipe for simple shortbread cookies with vegetable oil! The first time I made it according to the recipe, but now I added poppy seeds. It turned out delicious too. The main thing is not to roll the dough too thin and not dry it out! The cookies are not fatty and contain enough sugar. Everything is easy, simple and delicious!
