Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick.
Add oil and vanilla extract and mix gently.
Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until combined.
Chill dough for 15 minutes.
Roll dough into small balls and coat generously in pastel sugar.
Place on baking sheets and bake for 11–13 minutes until cracked and set.

Notes

Chill the dough lightly to help create beautiful cracks. Do not overbake, as the cookies should stay soft in the center. Dough balls can be frozen ahead of time and baked directly from the freezer.
