This is an elegant cookie that uses a thread spool to press a flower design on the top. Always get rave reviews! Just peel the paper off of one end of a spool of thread. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine |
1 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup white sugar for decoration |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, oil, white sugar and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the sugar mixture until just blended. Cover and chill dough for at least 3 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the chilled dough into walnut sized balls and roll the balls in the remaining sugar. Place them 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Press into each ball with the open end of a plastic thread spool. Dip the spool into the sugar between each cookie to prevent sticking problems.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not over bake or you will lose the delicate taste. Enjoy!
