World's Best Sugar Cookies

Clear your calendar for an entire day if you plan to make these cookies. They are delicious but the recipe makes a gazillion cookies.

1 C. butter or margarine
1 C. powdered sugar
1 C. granulated sugar
1 C. vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
5 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt

Cream together the butter and sugars. Beat well. Add oil, eggs and vanilla. Combine flour with remaining ingredients and beat into batter. Mix well.

Roll into balls the size of a large walnut or the size you desire. Press with bottom of a glass which has been dipped in granulated sugar. Nutmeg may be added to the sugar if desired.

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Yield approximately 6-7 dozen cookies. Store in covered tin or freeze.

You can also roll the dough out onto a pastry cloth or board and use cookie cutters.
