Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look just barely golden. Avoid over-baking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
