Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375º.
Step 2
Make the dough:
Place the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder to combine.
Step 3
Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. The dough should not be sticky, but it will be a bit oily.
Step 4
Pinch off a 2-tablespoon sized ball of dough. Roll the ball into a 12-inch long rope and fold in half to have the ends meet. Turn both ends in opposite directions to twist the rope, then meet both ends and press to form a circle. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 5
Make the dipping sugar:
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Press each cookie in the cinnamon sugar to coat and place on two baking sheets, 1-inch apart from one another.
Step 6
Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove both trays and turn off the oven. Transfer all the cookies to 1 baking sheet (they can overlap and stack) and return to the oven. Let sit in the oven until dry, at least 20 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
