Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Cream granulated sugar, butter and vanilla.
Add powdered sugar, oil and eggs.
Sift together (in a separate bowl) flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tarter. Slowly add to above, mixing until just combined. It’s best to add about a cup of dry ingredient mixture at a time, mixing after each addition.
Form rounded teaspoonfuls into balls and place on ungreased Heirloom Cookie Sheets.
Using a moistened paper towel wet the bottom of a glass, dip in colored sugar (re-dipping for each cookie) and flatten ball of dough. You may need to apply the moistened paper towel every so often, to keep glass wet and easily able to pick up sugar crystals.
Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes or until edges turn slightly brown. Remove immediately from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack.
