Recipe Introduction

These are sweet, tasty sugar cookies that go quickly.

List of Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
4 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
sugar mixed with apple pie spice or cinnamon





Recipe

In mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars and oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients and vanilla; mix well. Refrigerate overnight. Form into walnut size balls and place on greased cookie sheets. Combine sugar and apple pie spice. Dip bottom of a glass in sugar mixture and then flatten cookies with glass. Can sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Bake at 375ºF for 8 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes 3-4 dozen; Recipe can easily be doubled. Cookies keep well. Can use coloress sugar to press cookies (omit apple pie spice), or glass with decorated bottom.

I have also made these without refrigerating the dough overnight and they have turned out fine.
