The Best Sugar Cookies

Posted by Jim

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup 10x sugar
• 1 cup margarine or butter
• 1 cup oil
• 4 cups flour, unsifted
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• dash of salt
• 2 eggs
• 1.5 tsp. vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.

Cream the butter. Add the sugar and then the 10x sugar. Mix well. Add the oil slowly, scraping the bowl often. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Add the dry ingredients and beat at high speed until well blended.

Drop tablespoonfuls of batter on cookie sheets. Dip the bottom of a flat glass in granulated sugar and press the cookies down slightly.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.

These cookies are light and crisp. Keep them in a sealed container – especially in the summer when it’s humid – or they’ll go stale.

These babies aren’t flashy to look at but everyone seems to love them.
