This great holiday sugar cookie will be a favorite for years to come. Make these with your children or grandchildren and let them do the decorating. Sprinkle with colored sugar or use your imagination to create any number of toppings.
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream sugars, oil and butter until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add dry ingredients along with vanilla. Mix well. Chill dough 1 hour in refrigerator. Form into balls with your hands and place on sprayed or lightly greased cookie sheet. Press flat with your palm or a glass. Sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Makes about 3 dozen depending on size of cookies. These cookies taste wonderful. Enjoy!
Note: I have used this recipe for over 30 years and I think it came from an Amish cookbook years ago. It is a great recipe. I used cookie cutters to make these. The dough will be too soft to roll out with a rolling pin. I just sprinkled the counter with flour, took a handful of dough and flattened it enough to cut out a shape with a cutter dipped in flour. I put the dough back in the fridge between cooking times.

You can try Bev. I have never tried it. Let me know if you do how it worked.
Those are so great looking, perfect for the Christmas cookie tray.
