Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1/2 cup vegetables or 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (very necessary for texture...don't leave out)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 cream butter, powdered sugar and granulated sugar for 10 minutes. no joke. 10 minutes. you want it light and foamy. kitchen aids are perfect for this -- but regular beaters are fine.
• 2 beat in egg.
• 3 beat oil and vanilla in to the butter. it will look a little curdled. don't worry. it will come together with the dry ingredients.
• 4 sift dry ingredients and gradually add to the creamed mixture.
• 5 this will have the consistency of muffin batter. very soft.
• 6 chill in the fridge overnight. or at least 4 hours. covered.
• 7 form balls into well rounded teaspoons. i use the pampered chef small cookie scoop.
• 8 flatten with glass dipped in sugar. i mix up the red and green sugar and flatten it with that. at valentines day i use just red. easter i use pastel sugars -- you get the idea.
• 9 keep dough chilled in between batches!
• 10 bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. until just turning golden, but not brown. let cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet then remove to cooling rack.
• 11 i think these come out better on regular cookie sheets and not the air bake ones.
