These easy, versatile cookies are fun to make with the kids! If you cut them in triangles, you can call them “Haman’s Hats!”
Preheat oven to 375 F.
In a food processor fitted with the Steel Blade, process eggs with sugar, oil and juice until blended, about 5 seconds. Add baking powder and flour. Process just until mixed, using on/off pulses. Do not over-process.
Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/8th inch thick. Using assorted cookie cutters, cut in different shapes. Dip each cookie lightly in sugar. Place sugar-side up on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until
golden.
Yield: 4 to 5 dozen. Freezes well.
