Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Gradually add self-rising flour until the dough is firm enough to handle.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar, or a mix of both. If you prefer a lighter texture, replacing some of the oil with unsweetened applesauce can work well. Don't hesitate to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra crunch. Adjust the flour amount based on humidity; start with 2 cups and add more if the dough is too sticky.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat. For a fun dessert spread, serve them alongside Jewell'S Sweet Potato Casserole for a comforting meal or a slice of Peaches And Cream Cheese Cake for a fruity finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of flour. This will help mimic the leavening effect of self-rising flour, ensuring your cookies rise properly during baking.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the flavor profile of these cookies. You could also include a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. Experimenting with different extracts, like almond or coconut, can also provide a unique taste.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when they turn golden brown around the edges and are slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
