Donut Cookies

Christmas

Ingredients

– Vegetable oil – Butter – Eggs – Vanilla extract – Salt – Baking powder – Powdered sugar – Flour – Milk – Light corn syrup – Food coloring (red and green) – Sprinkles

Mix together oil, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder and confectioners sugar until creamy and smooth.

Add the flour and continue mixing until smooth. Cover and chill. 

Scoop a tablespoon ball from the dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the balls into ropes. Shape the dough into circles,  they should resemble a donut. Bake.

Put confectioners sugar into 2 small bowls. Add milk and corn syrup to each bowl. Stir until you have a soft icing that will spread. Add a couple of drops of food color to each bowl, stirring until the color you want appears.

Dip the top of each cookie into the icing.  Add sprinkles on top.

These are one of my favorite cookies to make during Christmas time. I make some for my daughter’s teachers, some for cookie exchange presents and some for Santa. Santa told me he really really really likes these cookies. ❤️
