Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Cup Butter or Margarine,* softened
- 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 Cups and 4 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- Sugar, frosting, or sprinkles as desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cream sugars and butter; add oil and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla.
- Mix flour, salt, soda, cream of tartar. Stir into the wet ingredients.
- Use medium cookie scoop, roll dough into balls. Using the bottom of a glass, press into sugar and then press cookie ball down on cookie sheet to flatten slightly. If you are making into flowers then gently insert a cookie stick into the middle of the dough, making sure it does not poke through the dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies will be light colored but done at 10 minutes. If you want them crisp and brown add another minute or two. They will spread slightly when baking so be sure and allow plenty of space around the dough.
- Frost and decorate as desired.
Notes
* I use butter, not margarine, but the original recipe says either one works.
To place cookie flowers into floral arrangement, add floral oasis into a flower pot, making it as tight as possible. Gently stick each cookie into the oasis forming a bouquet. Cover top with decorator grass.
