By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 cup canola oil
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• white and hot pink sparkling sugar (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

preheat oven to 375.

in a large bowl, combine the first two sugars. stir in the oil, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

add the flour and stir, forming a dough that will be crumbly and somewhat dry. form balls out of heaping tablespoons of the dough, and place them 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. press the cookies down with the bottom of a glass to flatten. (if cookie dough sticks, dip the glass in granulated sugar first). sprinkle with sparkling sugars before baking, if desired.

Bake the cookies for about 10mins, until lightly golden. allow to cool for a few mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before making ice cream sandwiches. store left over cookies in a an airtight container for up to a month.
