Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract until creamy.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated; the dough should be thick and sticky.
