Ingredients

  • 1 cup solid vegetable shortening such as Crisco
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla I use 1.5 teaspoons, I like vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • In large mixing bowl place shortening, oil, sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add all dry ingredients and beat again until very well blended and a dough is formed.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls or use a cookie dough scoop. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
  • Using a glass with a flat bottom, dip the glass into a little bit of granulated sugar and then lightly press down the top of each cookie (dipping in sugar again before each one) to flatten the tops a bit.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until very lightly browned around the bottom edges.
