This is a light and delicate sugar cookie.  I took my Grandma’s sugar cookie recipe and added the vanilla beans and I love the enhanced vanilla flavor. Everyone loves these cookies and they’re so easy to make.

Ingredients Needed:

  • sugar, divided
  • powdered sugar
  • all purpose flour
  • vegetable oil
  • butter, softened
  • egg
  • cream
  • vanilla bean
  • salt
  • baking soda

How To Make:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  

Cut vanilla bean in half and scrape out insides and stir into cream in a small bowl; set aside.

In a bowl or saucer combine 1/4 cup of sugar and vanilla bean pods and stir around; set aside.  

In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, oil, and sugars.  

Stir in egg and then cream and vanilla mixture.  

Add in dry ingredients and mix until well combined.  

Scoop cookie dough or shape into about 1 1/2″ balls onto a greased or lined baking sheet.  

Dip a glass into the sugar and vanilla bean mixture and gently smash each cookie.
