Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • *extra sugar for pressing cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • dash of salt
  • 1 1/2 - 2 pounds powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (or as needed, to taste)
  • red food coloring

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
  • In a stand-mixer or large mixing bowl, combine butter, oil, sugar, powdered sugar, and water. Cream together and slowly add in eggs.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix well and slowly add to the butter/sugar mixture until combined and doughy.
  • Roll dough into golf-ball sized balls and place on non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.
  • Dip the bottom of a glass into excess sugar and press on to each dough ball (re-dipping in sugar each time) to flatten the cookie. Press lightly because you don't want your cookie to be too thin.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until bottom is lightly golden-brown. Do not over-bake. Set aside to cool.
