fantastic! this is great for use as the "crust" of a fruit "pizza" Make this the whip together a jar of mallow whip and a brick of cream cheese for your "sauce" then top with your choice of sliced fruits...delicious.

Amazing! I used canola oil and it worked fine. I would reccomend the vanilla extract, just to oomph the flavor a bit. This recipe is super easy and fun!

I love this recipe and was searching to post. Perfect when you remember at 11 pm that it's your turn to bring snack to your child's preschool in the morning. Fast, easy and made from ingredients you always have on hand. Love the combination of oil and butter; I prefer 2 t almond extract. A super easy and attractive Christmas cookie, just use red and green colored sugar. I often double the recipe to make for a crowd and bake in the same 15x10 pan or larger sheet pan, the result is more cakelike and less crisp though. Do watch the baking time. This recipe is from the Pillsbury Best of the Bake Off, by Kathryn Blackburn, and I just love how she came up with the recipe...the woman had three young children and was baking everyday. To save time, she came up with a sugar cookie that could be made as a bar. Hmmm, three young children hanging from her while she's baking sounds very much like my house. As demonstrated by Lvs' great picture, these cookies look lovely when cut into triangles or diamonds. Thanks for posting!

These were a pleasure to whip up. I spread in a 13x18 pan (using Silipat mat) and they were not cake-like at all (had the texture of a crispy yet chewy cookie). I will definitely make these again! Thanks Lvs2Cook, for posting. Roxygirl
