Cotton Candy Sugar Cookies

Contributed By: LR

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup cooking oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 1/4 cups all purpose flour
Extra sugar for pressing cookies

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cream together the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and
cooking oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients, (the next four ingredients) and mix to
incorporate. Roll dough into small balls about the size of a quarter.
With a heavy bottomed crystal vase with a decorative bottom, or other
cookie press, dip in sugar to coat well. Smash each ball of dough so
they are spread out and flat. Leaving an imprint and sugar. Bake in a
375 degree oven for 10 minutes, until the edges just start to turn
slightly brown. Do not bake too long. Cool on the baking sheet
briefly then transfer to wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
"These cookies literally melt in your mouth. To make
them festive for Christmas, you could use colored sugar when pressing
the cookies. The vase I use has a star burst on the bottom, which
makes them festive."
