Ingredients
-
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
6 1/2 - 7 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 ounce whiskey (optional)
1 lemon, grated zest
egg white, for brushing tops
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the lemon zest, oil, whiskey and cinnamon. Beat until well combined.
Add the baking soda and then the flour, 1 cup at a time until the batter becomes easy to roll.
Form the dough into round balls and place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
Cook until they turn golden brown. Release one cookie to check the bottom to be sure they aren't overcooked.
Remove the baking sheets and leave to cool.
