Sugar Cookies image

These tasty cookies are a great way to tame your sweet tooth! I sprinkled raw sugar on the top and just loved the slight crunch it gave to these otherwise scrumptiously soft cookies.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c unsalted butter, softened
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 c sugar
1 c vegetable or canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla (use 1/2 tsp if using real vanilla)
4 1/2 c sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, Combine butter (let butter get very soft for best results), sugars (sift sugars together), and oil in a large mixer bowl using medium speed. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • 2. Sift flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together; gradually beat into creamed mixture using low speed. Mix well.
  • 3. Shape teaspoons of dough into balls (dough will be soft). Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with tines of fork, which have been dipped in sugar. (You can sprinkle a little more sugar on top if desired.)
  • 4. Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove cookies; cool on racks.
  • 5. Store in a covered container. Note: The original recipe calls for margarine and vanilla extract. It also calls for all-purpose flour. I use self-rising flour. I have found the taste is better using unsalted butter and real vanilla.
