Ingredients
-
1/4 lb butter or 1/4 lb margarine, at room temperature,about
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup salad oil
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour, about
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add oil, egg, and vanilla and beat until well blended.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
Stir into butter mixture, then beat until well blended.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until dough is firm, about 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets.
Press each cookie with the lightly floured tines of a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake cookies in a 350\u00b0 regular or convection oven until edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes; if baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking.
Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
