Add one cup of the flour mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, alternating it with 1/4 cup of the oil, stirring between each addition until all of the flour and oil is incorporated.
Stir in vanilla.
Roll dough in small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Flatten each with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
