These cookies are delish...crispy and buttery on the edges and soft in the middle. They can't be rolled...so not good if you are wanting to do cutouts.
4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 c butter, softened
1 c powdered sugar
1 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c sugar for dipping
Sift the flour, b. soda, salt and cream of tartar into a bowl and mix well. Beat the butter, c. sugar and 1 c sugar in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add the oil and beat until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Chill, covered until firm.
* The dough will be wet and light...this is how it is supposed to be.
Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Arrange on a cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until light brown (I undercooked so they were less crispy). Cool for 2 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 7 dozen cookies
Frost (frosting recipe to come!) and serve!
