The best part about these is that there is no rolling out and cutting into shapes involved.....but the kids still get a kick out of rolling the cookie dough in the sugar for me! And by the way, if there's any dough left to bake after the kids get a taste of it...I'm impressed. These are just darn yummy!
* 1 cup powdered sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup vegetable oil (I use margarine or butter flavored shortening)
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 4 1/4 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
* sugar for decoration (My kids love it if I use colored sugar, it makes the cookies look much snazzier...no frosting necessary)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ).
2. In a large bowl, cream together sugar, butter, and oil. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar; stir into the creamed mixture. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Roll in sugar. Place balls onto ungreased sheet. Press each ball down with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. (Find a glass with a decorative bottom to give cookies a pattern.)
3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
