Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Form dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
  5. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a festive twist, sprinkle with colored sugar before baking.
  • These cookies are soft, buttery, and freeze well for later.
