Ok, so it's this time of the year, and Jenn, over @ Treasuring Life's Blessing, is hosting a Virtual Cookie Exchange party, so I thought I would join.
Today was our first cookie day of the season and I decided to try a new sugar cookie recipe, and also make chocolate chip cookies since for my younger boy, if we do not make chocolate chip cookies we have not made cookies.
So here we go:
Amish Sugar Cookie
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 eggs
2 tbs water2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vanilla or almond flavoring
Mix granulated sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and cooking oil together.
Add eggs, and vanilla, mix again.
Mix together flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda, and add to the creamy mixture. Mix to blend.
Drop small balls of dough on cookie sheet.
Then slightly flatten dough with the back of a spoon dipped in water.
Bake in oven at 375 degrees.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown.
I had Zach decorate them and I hanged a couple on the tree (before baking I made a hole at the top of the cookie to leave space for a thread.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Combine the flour, cocoa and baking powder; gradually add to oil mixture and mix well.
Stir in chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks.
Now enjoy and happy baking!
