Ingredients

  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 cup Crisco canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream margarine, oil, sugar, and powdered sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend well.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to the cream mixture one cup at a time. Make sure it is very well blended to avoid a "flour" taste.

Step 3

Put extra sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut (a heaping teaspoon). Roll balls in sugar and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Press with the decorative bottom of a glass dipped in the bowl of cookie dough (to moisten glass so sugar will stick), and then dip in granulated sugar. Or make a pattern with a fork to flatten.

Step 4

Bake 8-10 minutes on a lightly greased cookie sheet until light brown.
