Amish Sugar Cookies
This sugar cookies are a drop cookie, which makes them easy for kids to help with. The final product is a little crumbly.
Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 106kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
- ½ cup (109 g) Vegetable oil pure
- ½ cup (100 g) Sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) Confectioners' sugar
- 1 (1) Egg
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (281.25 g) All-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Cream of tartar
Instructions
- Weigh or measure the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar into a bowl. I run a whisk through to blend. In another bowl, weigh or measure both sugars, and remember to use the Tare button when adding the second sugar.
- In a stand or hand-held mixer, cream the butter for 2 minutes at a medium mixer speed. Add the oil and mix for another couple of minutes. Next, add the sugars and mix on a medium mixer speed for 3 minutes. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract and incorporate.
- Scrape down the bowl sides and, on a low mixer speed, add the flour mixture about a quarter of the bowl contents at a time until incorporated—no refrigeration required.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C). Drop by small teaspoons or cookie scoop (I like cookie scoop because it makes even-sized cookies) onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool.
