Amazing Sugar Cookies

Sorry it's been so long! Christmas was crazy and the New Year has been just as busy. I'm back though, with two new posts tonight.

First, dessert. These are some pretty great sugar cookies. I made them about a month ago so no pic, but trust me, they will crumble in your mouth. No need for frosting because they are super tasty all on their own.

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 cup canola oil
2 sticks softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Cream together the eggs, oil, butter both sugars, and vanilla. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Add a couple more tablespoons flour if dough feels too wet. Refrigerate an hour.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll into balls to be placed on the cookie sheet. Flatten the dough into round disks (don't totally flatten the dough, just the top). Sprinkle the cookies with extra granulated sugar.

Bake 11 minutes at 350.
