If you don't have much luck with rolled sugar cookies, give these a try. Oil and confectioners' sugar give them a unique crispness. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
1 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
additional sugar or colored sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, oil and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls; dip tops in sugar or colored sugar. Place sugar side up 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 7 dozen.
