Angel Sugar Cookies
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing glass
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for dipping
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Blue sanding sugar, for sprinkling (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie)
- Purple sanding sugar, for sprinkling (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla and eggs.
- Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto ungreased, unlined baking sheets.
- Smear a dab of butter all over the bottom of a glass, then dip the glass in granulated sugar.
- Use the glass to flatten each ball of dough, dipping again into the sugar each time.
- Then sprinkle blue sanding sugar (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie) over half of the cookies, and purple sanding sugar over the other half.
- Bake until the cookies are just barely turning brown, 9 to 11 minutes.
- Don't overbrown!
- Allow to cool before eating.
- The cookies are ultra crumbly!
