Amish Sugar Cookies
Amish Sugar Cookies are soft, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. This recipe is a great twist on sugar cookies but without chilling the dough and rolling it out.

Ingredients
1/2
cup
butter
room temperature
1/2
cup
vegetable oil
1/2
cup
white sugar
1/2
cup
powdered icing sugar
1
large
egg
2
teaspoons
vanilla paste or extract
2 1/4
cups
flour
1/2
teaspoon
baking soda
1
teaspoon
cream of tartar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl (or bowl of your stand mixer), add the butter, oil, and sugars and beat together until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla paste; beat until combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
Use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough in 1-tablespoon sized scoops onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2" apart.
Bake for 8 minutes, until golden.
Remove from oven and leave the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
Notes
Traditional amish cookies call for vanilla extract and while cheaper and more accessible, I found vanilla paste to have a richer taste profile.
