Preparation

Step 1

Mix eggs, butter, powdered sugar, granulated sugar and oil. In a separate bowl, combine cream of tartar, salt, baking soda, and flour. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Add the vanilla and the almond extracts and the mix well again. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight or up to 3 days.
Form balls of cookie dough and place them on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with a glass or cookie press that is wet and dipped in sugar.
Bake at 350° for 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are slightly brown. This makes about 2 ½ dozen cookies that are about 2 in each.
