Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- Strawberry Frosting
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 cup of sugar and the powdered sugar. Add vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and eggs and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet.
On a large plate, mix ¼ c of sugar. Find a smooth bottomed glass and press it into the sugar to coat the bottom of the glass in sugar. Then press the sugar-coated-glass into the cookie dough balls and lightly press down until your dough begins to flatten and the edges around the glass begin to split.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool cookies on a cooling rack and then put them in the fridge until you are ready to frost them.
Strawberry Frosting
Combine butter, powdered sugar, and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add strawberries and mix until just blended. Frost cookies when you are ready to serve.
