• Ready In: 23mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 6 dozen

ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter, unsalted
• 1 cup cooking oil
• 2 eggs
• 4 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients. Beat well.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Drop small balls of dough on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Flatten slightly at edges.
6. Dough can be chilled before baking.
7. Also can be stored in tightly sealed bowl for several days. It can also be frozen. Just make what you need and save the rest for later. I save it for quite a while sometimes and you just can't tell. I don't have the time for the cookies to bake, but it doesn't take long and when they start to turn golden around the edges they are ready.

Good basic cookie. Has somewhat of a cakey texture.

Since I made first batch, I am making them every week, sometimes twice. Kids and grandkids love these.
