Ingredients
-
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, no substitutions (softened)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon butter flavor extract
2 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and vegetable oil.
Beat in egg and extract.
Add next 4 ingredients and mix together. The dough will be somewhat soft. Refrigerate a few minutes if too soft to work with.
Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in reserved 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in granulated sugar (or colored sugar if you prefer).
Bake at 350\u00b0F for 10-12 minutes.
Note: Cookies should be only very slightly browned. They will be a more of a light golden color.
