Preheat the oven to 325°F or 160°C.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, salt, butter and oil and beat for a minute.
Add the eggs and beat until well combined.

Switch the beater to a dough hook, then add the flour and baking powder.
Mix for a couple of minutes until the dough is firm.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Take pieces of dough and roll into balls then roll them in sugar.
Place the dough balls on the baking sheets 2" apart, then flatten using a glass.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly coloured.
Remove to a cooling rack.

Recipe Tips

•

Ensure that all your ingredients, especially the eggs and butter, are at room temperature to promote better emulsification and texture in your cookies. This can take about 30 minutes to an hour after taking them out of the fridge.

•

When measuring your flour, use a spoon to fluff it up in the container and then spoon it into your measuring cup, leveling it off with a knife. This prevents compacting and ultimately leads to a drier cookie if too much flour is used.

•

Avoid overmixing the dough once you add the flour. Mix just until combined to ensure your cookies remain tender and do not become tough. Overmixing can develop gluten which is not ideal for cookie texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the heavy cream with another dairy product?

Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with whole milk or half-and-half, but keep in mind that the cookies may not be as rich or chewy. For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream.

How should I store the cookies after baking?

Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a sealed bag for up to three months.

What should I do if the dough is too sticky?

If the dough is too sticky, try adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a firmer consistency. Make sure to mix it thoroughly after each addition.

Beer
