This recipe was given to me by a neighbor that passed away several years ago. He was an excellent cook, and would often try new recipes, or create his own. Everyone made a point to have areason to go by his house around the holidays because he alwyas had some candy or cookies for sampling.
SUGAR COOKIES
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp crean of tartar
Cream sugars and margarine until fluffy. Add oil and eggs; continue beating, add vanilla. Sift together salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and flour. Add to misture a little at a time while steadily mixing. Mix well. Form small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and press flat with a glass dipped in sugar (I usually press them to about 1/8 of an inch thick). Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly brown.
I always double this recipe whe I make these cookies. They have proven to be favorite and no one can eat just one. Around the holidays my daughters and I nake them and use cookie stencils to sprinkle colored sugars in designs of the holiday season.
