For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. Add a touch of lemon or orange zest to the dough for a bright, citrusy note. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Get creative with the knot shapes! Experiment with different braids and twists.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand with a large spoon until a dough forms. (5 minutes)
03
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. (25 minutes)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
05
StepBreak off small pieces of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into small ropes, approximately 4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. Twist the ropes into loose knots or braids.
06
StepPlace the knots about 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
07
StepBake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until they are firm and lightly golden brown. (20 minutes)
08
StepRemove from the cookie sheets and let them cool completely on wire racks. Once cooled, drizzle with a simple confectioners' glaze or dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
