5 ½ c. + 2 T. flour
1 t. salt
½ t. baking soda
½ t. cream of tarter
1 c. butter, softened
¾ c. canola oil
1 ¼ c. sugar
¾ c. powdered sugar
2 T. water
2 eggs, room temperature
1 t. vanilla
In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tarter. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugars together for 2 minutes. Slowly stream in the oil while beating. Add the water and vanilla. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing until combined. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll dough into 2-inch balls. Place ¼ c. sugar with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Press dough down with the bottom of a glass dipped in the sugar mixture. Press to ½ inch thick. Bake for 8 minutes only. Remove from oven and cool on cooling rack. Frost with your favorite frosting.
