Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Place sugar in a blender or food processor and process for about 15 seconds until a fine consistency. Sugar will be slightly powdered.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Using a mixer bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 8 minutes, until thick and pale.
  • Gradually beat in oil until incorporated. Beat in vanilla on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop mixer to scrape the sides of bowl.
  • Add flour and continue to beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until batter is smooth, stopping mixer to scrape the sides and bottom of bowl.
  • Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Spoon batter into pastry bag and pipe 3 1/2-inch logs onto the baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with some confectioner’s sugar over the ladyfingers and wait 3 minutes. The sugar will glisten. Dust on another portion of confectioner’s sugar. This helps to give the ladyfingers their characteristic crispness.
  • Bake in batches(slide the first sheet into the oven as soon as you’ve piped), for 7 to 8 minutes, until they puff up, turn lightly golden brown and are still soft.
  • Cool completely on the sheets on a cooling rack, and then remove the ladyfingers from the baking sheet with a metal spatula (or pry off the parchment, if using). Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar before serving.
