Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheets
  • Wire racks
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, cream together butter, oil, and sugars, then beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Baking
  1. Drop dough onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure ingredients like butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results and smooth mixing. Do not overbake; cookies should be lightly browned at the edges.
