Steps:
- Cream butter and shortening with the sugars.
- Beat eggs and add to the butter along with the baking soda and cream of tartar, blend together thoroughly.
- Gradually add the flour until well blended.
- Either roll into small balls and flatten slightly with a glass dipped in sugar, or roll out on slightly floured surface (not too thin) and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
- Grease cookie sheets, and Bake in 350 degree oven 7-10 minute Be careful not to over bake, they should still be white on the top and a very light brown on the bottom. Cool.
- If you want to put sugar on them, sprinkle with colored sugar before baking, otherwise frost with frosting once they are cool, either store bought or your own recipe. They turn out best with sugar or frosting as opposed to plain.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- On waxed paper, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar on medium speed about 2 min or until creamy. Reduce speed to low, beat in egg, then beat in oil and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended, occasionally scraping bowl.
- Place remaining 2 tbsp sugar in a small bowl or saucer. Shape dough by rounded tsp into 3/4 inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Dip punch cup or glass with raised or cut design on bottom, or coarse side of meat mallet into sugar in bowl, use to flatten each ball into a 1 1/2 inch round.
- Bake 10-11 min until edges are golden. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store cookies in tightly covered container at room temp up to 1 week or in freezer up to 3 monthes.
Tips:
- Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality butter, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Soften Butter Properly: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with sugar. This allows it to mix more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a more delicate cookie.
- Chill the Dough: Before baking, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and gives them a more defined shape.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Let Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and prevents them from breaking.
Conclusion:
These melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With a combination of simple ingredients, a little bit of patience, and some helpful tips, you can create delicious and delightful cookies that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy the baking process and savor the delicious results!
