Sugar Cookies Worth A Million Dollars
This receipe for sugar cookies has definitely become the most requested item when I bake. They truly do melt in your mouth. I have no idea where I got the recipe. that is the case with most of my recipes. I have had them for years and they have been passed down and passed down again.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp.cream of tartar
Soften the butter and cream with both sugars. Yes, you read correctly. There is powdered sugar in these cookies as well as regular granulated sugar. I am convinced that this is what makes the cookie so outstanding.
As a general rule, even if the recipe calls for butter I use margarine but not in this cookie. No substitutions here. And this coming from someone who can’t tell the difference between margarine and butter. Family and friends love to give me a hard time about this.
Add oil and mix well. The batter will be very runny. Add the 2 eggs and the vanilla. Again, mix well.
Sift all of the dry ingredients together and add to batter.
Chilling the batter will make the cookies easier to handle. I usually chill mine over night but you probably could get away with and hour or two.
Form into balls about 1″ in size. 
I use a cookie ball scooper rather like an ice cream scooper. Believe me, if you are a cookie maker, you need one in your kitchen. It makes the task of forming the cookie balls much faster and and is much less messy than trying to get them to come off a teaspoon and rolling them by hand.
Flatten with the bottom of a glass or jar that has been dipped into sugar. 
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 375 for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Delicious anytime but oh my goodness when they are warm!!!!
Let me know how you like them.
