Ingredients

The following ingredients have 54 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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 ten minutes, or until very lightly browned around the bottom edges.
