Amish Sugar Cookies 2

Recipe By :Linda Magee
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Formed


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup sugar
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 cup butter or margarine -- at room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs -- beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Sugar

Combine the sugars, butter, oil and eggs in a large mixer bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.
Add baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and flour. Mix well.
Refrigerate dough until WELL chilled (2-3 hours or overnight). The dough MUST be well chilled or it will be hard to work with.
Preheat oven to 375º.
Roll the chilled dough into golf ball-size balls. Roll in sugar (you can use colored sugar).
Place on ungreased cookie sheets, about 3" apart (they do spread).
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are barely browned around the edges and the cookies aren't shiny in the middle.
Leave on cookie sheets for 2-3 minutes. If you try to remove them, they WILL fall apart.

I don't have a drop one, but here is a rolled one from Betty Crocker. The cookies come at soft and plump. I love them.

1 1/2c powdered sugar
1c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
granulated sugar

Mix first 5 ingredients. Separately mix next three ingredients (dry ingredients). Mix dry and wet together. Cover and refridgerate for at least 2 hrs.

Heat oven to 375. Grease cookie sheets lightly. Divide dough in 1/2. Roll 1/2 dough 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into desired shape. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and place on cookie sheet. Complete the same with the second 1/2 of the dough. Bake for 7-8 minutes, until edges are light brown.

Believe your recipe is just like mine execpt I add 1/2 tsp more vanilla and no almond extract! Funny my cookies are hard but I use chilled butter. I did make them one time and used soft butter and they were much softer. but they are so yummy!

 

[believe]

They are yummy. I have a lot of people tell me that they are like butter cookies.
