Million Dollar Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, soft
3/4 cup Crisco, butter flavored
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Oven 350\u00b0 for 12-15 minutes until edges are slightly brown.
Cream fats and sugars until fluffy.
Add egg and beat until absorbed.
Add flavorings to creamed mixture.
Sift dry ingredients together into separate bowl and blend together.
Add dry to creamed mixture and mix just until flour is incorporated; do not over mix.
Chill dough.
Roll into balls and flatten on cookie sheet with glass bottom dipped in sugar.
My addition of some butter allows the fats and sugars to creme to a fluffy consistency superior to Crisco alone. Butter has a small percentage of water that helps build volume and break down the sugars. The use of all butter will result in a softer cookie if this is your preference. This important 1st stage of preparation will make good cookies, blue ribbon winners.
