Creamed Mixture
- 2 sticks salted butter softened
- 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt regular
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- Extra granulated sugar for rolling & "snow"
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you are going to chill dough. Wait until put the dough into the fridge to chill before turning on the oven.
Cream butter,oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until fluffy. I use a handmixer to control the process.
Mix in eggs and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients; mix to a soft dough. Dough was very soft so I put it in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Scoop and roll into 1 teaspoon marble-sized balls #70-100 scoop for tiny cookies or use a #60 scoop for cookies around 2 inches in diameter.
Roll balls in extra granulated sugar or sparkling sugar
Place on parchment; gently press with a cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass, approx 1/3-inch thickness
Bake 10-12 minutes until crisp and light golden.
Cool at least 10 minutes to set (they'll feel soft straight from the oven).
Dust with additional sugar if needed.
