Powdwered Sugar Cookies...

This is such a good cookies recipe. I don't know how many years I have made these but it's been ever since my kids were young. Try not to over bake these cookies. The edges shouldn't begim turn brown. They are a light yet, rich sugar cookie.

2 sticks butter ( not margarine)
1 C. sugar
1 C. powdered sugar

1 C. vegetable oil ( prefer Crisco)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla

4 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar


Cream sugars and butter together.
Add oil, then eggs and mix well.
Add vanilla.
Sift dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture.

Chill dough overnight.

Roll 1 tsp. of dough into a ball and roll in sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet.
Flatten with glass dipped in sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
