Grandma Lena's Amish Cookies

This Recipe was my grandmother's cookie recipe, to me it's a cross between shortbread and a sugar cookie. You can add sprinkles of some sort on top to make them fit a certain holiday (Example: Green for St. Patrick's Day, Pink for Valentines, Red for Christmas, etc...).



Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 2 Sticks Butter
• 1 Cup Oil (Safflower or Canola)
• 4 1/2 Cups Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions:

Mix sugars, butter, and oil. Add the eggs and cream well in mixer (mixture will turn white). Add dry ingredients and vanilla; mix well. 

Drop small balls on greased cookie sheet. Press down with fork in two directions.

Bake 10-11 Minutes at 375 Degrees. Cookies should not get too brown**.
