INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, oil, white sugar, and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
