Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vinegar and vanilla extract.
  2. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Incorporate this into the creamed sugar mixture and mix well.
  3. Scoop out a tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll it into a ball, and flatten into 1/4 inch thickness; sprinkle with colored sugar and place 2 inches apart (See My Notes)
  4. Bake in an oven preheated at 350F/180C in a greased pan for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cookies cool down for 2-3 minutes before removing them from the pan. Store it in air-tight containers once it's cooled completely.
My Notes:
  1. I felt the batter was a bit loose...not quite stiff. So decided to put it in the fridge for a while. Otherwise, the cookies would spread too much. This was not mentioned in the original recipe, but I did it because the dough consistency did not feel right. Initially, I stored the dough in the fridge for a while (20 mins maybe) and then rolled, flattened, and sprinkled the sugar. By the time I started rolling and flattening, I felt it was becoming sticky again. So put the cookie sheet in the fridge again for another 10 minutes to harden up a little. The cookies spread out perfectly and beautifully.
  2. I was also skeptical about vinegar in the recipe and wondered how it would taste. When I tasted the dough, I noticed a hint of sourness, but I couldn't taste it in the cookies. So trust me, go ahead and bake these cookies.
Taste:
  1. Like many other readers, I too doubted if it would turn out right, and boy I was in for a big surprise! These egg-free sugar cookies turned out absolutely gorgeous and delicious. Not too sweet, not too crispy, or chewy...just the perfect texture. The only change I made was to use a little extra vanilla extract then mentioned in the original recipe, which gave the cookies a very good flavor and aroma.
