Classic sugar cookies

Step by step

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 185 ºC. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2. Step 2

   In a bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil and sugar using a hand mixer until it forms a smooth light-colored paste. 

3. Step 3

   Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and stir until combined. Add the chocolate chips if you’re using them. Roll the dough into a ball and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

4. Step 4

   Take out the dough and divide it into small balls. Set them on the baking sheet, leaving two inches between them to give the cookies room to spread. 

5. Step 5

   Bake them for about 8 minutes, until golden brown. Let them cool for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
