Ingredients
>
1/4 cup (½ stick) butter, softened
>
3/4 cup sugar
>
1/2 cup olive oil
>
2 large eggs
>
2 tsp vanilla extract
>
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
>
1 tsp baking powder
>
1/4 tsp salt
>
Blue sprinkles
>
Nonpareils
>
1/2 (16 oz) can vanilla frosting
Steps
1
With a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together 2–3 min., until fluffy. Beat in the oil, eggs, and extract.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In batches, slowly beat dry ingredients into egg mixture on low speed until combined. Transfer to lightly floured work surface and knead until dough comes together smoothly. Pat into flat disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour, until firm.
3
Preheat oven to 350°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness. Using a floured 2- to 3-inch dreidel-shaped cookie cutter, cut cookies from the dough. Transfer cookies to parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
4
Bake 10–12 min., until golden. Let cool slightly on cookie sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Place the sprinkles in a small dish. Spread frosting on each cookie and dip into sprinkles, pressing to adhere.
Tips
If you can’t find a dreidel-shaped cutter, use the tip of a sharp paring knife to cut out the shape by hand.
