Answer 3

Butter will often yield crispier cookies than shortening will. For chewier cookies, use shortening rather than butter. Or use mostly shortening, about 1/3 butter that's called for.

AMISH SUGAR COOKIES

In a bowl, mix together well:
1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, room temp
1 cup oil
2 large eggs, room temp

In another bowl, mix well:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. Baking Soda
4½ cups flour

Combine the ingredients to one bowl, mix well, cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

When ready to bake, flour hands, then shape dough into balls and place on baking sheet.

Take a chilled glass and dip bottom in sugar. Flatten each cookie. Sprinkle with colored sugar if you want.

Bake at preheated 350ºF until the edges are golden brown.
