Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream Nucoa, white sugar, and powdered sugar together.
- Add oil and beaten eggs; mix well.
- Add dry ingredients (flour, soda, cream of tartar) and vanilla; mix until combined.
- Chill the dough for easier handling.
- Roll into balls and dip in sugar.
- Press with a glass to 1/3-inch thickness.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute half of the white sugar with coconut sugar. Make sure to chill the dough adequately, as this will make rolling easier and improve the texture of the cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These sugar cookies are delightful on their own but can be served with a side of Snappy Fruit Dip for a refreshing contrast. For a festive touch, consider icing them with a simple glaze or decorating with colored sugar. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. To enjoy them later, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of oil in this recipe?
Yes, you can use canola oil or any neutral-flavored oil as a substitute for the oil in this recipe. Just ensure that the oil you choose has a high smoke point to avoid any off-flavors during baking.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticking too much, try chilling it for a bit longer or adding a little extra flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. This will help you roll it into balls more easily.
How can I make these cookies festive for the holidays?
To make these cookies more festive, consider adding seasonal spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. You can also decorate them with colorful icing or sprinkles to match the occasion, making them perfect for holiday gatherings.
