  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl with electric mixer, beat granulated sugar, powdered sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in oil, vanilla and eggs until well blended.
  • 2
    On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt until a dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight for easier handling.
  • 3
    Heat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each with bottom of glass dipped in colored sugar.

    Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.

  • For the prettiest cookies, look for a "cut-glass" tumbler with a pretty design on the bottom. Look for cream of tartar in the spice aisle of the grocery store.
