Cookie
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 5½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 4 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 drops pink food coloring
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a cookie sheet. Set aside.
In the stand of a mixer, cream together butter, oil, sugars, sour cream, and eggs. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Slowly add to your creamed mixture and mix until combined.
Roll dough into 1½ inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.
Place ¼ cup sugar in a separate bowl. Lightly grease the bottom of a glass with cooking spray. Dip the bottom of the glass into the sugar and then press down onto each dough ball to make it about 3 inches in diameter to give the cookies their cracked edges.
Bake for 8-9 minutes and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cookie rack.
Frosting
While the cookies are cooling, cream the butter, powdered sugar, 1 drop of food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix well and add the desired amount of milk to get it the desired thickness. I add 3-4 tablespoons.
Spread frosting on cookies right before serving.
Recipe notes. I rolled my dough balls to be 1½-inch in diameter. Using a cup with a 2½-inch base diameter, I pressed cookies to a ⅜-inch thickness and 3-inch diameter. When cookies were cooked they were 3½-inches wide.
Store frosted cookies in an airtight container separating layers with wax paper or parchment paper. Keep at room temperature for 3-4 days, 5-7 days in the refrigerator, or 3 months in the freezer.
