Twisted Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375F; have ready cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Put white sugar and cinnamon in the bowl of your food processor, fitted with the steel blade.
3. 3
   Pulse quickly, just until mixed, then empty mixture onto a pie plate.
4. 4
   Now put the eggs, brown sugar and oil into the bowl of your food processor and pulse for a few seconds, until blended.
5. 5
   Add baking powder and flour to mixture and pulse just until the flour disappears-- it is important not to overprocess or the cookies will be tough.
6. 6
   Use about 1 tbsp of this dough to form cookie into the twist of your choice-- I used to form capital letters when my son was young, making alphabet cookies.
7. 7
   Roll cookies in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on prepared cookie sheets.
8. 8
   Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned-- if you've made fairly large twisted cookies, you'll likely need the full 15 minutes.
