Merry Christmas Eve! It's time for the final cookie! And the best cookie out of the bunch. What would Christmas be without sugar cookies? Here's literally the best sugar cookie recipe out there, thanks to my Grandma Dorothy. The recipe yields at least 3 dozen, but I only baked up about a dozen to decorate with the niece. More Christmas cookies to come later in the week with some cool decorating techniques. Here are the pics of the ginger cookies from yesterday. Christmas ditty is Ms Ella again with Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
Grandma Dot's Sugar Cookies
1 c. white sugar
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. oil

1 tsp. cream of tartar
4 1/2 c. flour
The best little cookie decorator. :)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together, white sugar, powdered sugar, oil and butter, until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat more. Stir in baking soda, cream of tartar and flour. Chill for at least 2 hours. Roll into balls and press down lightly with bottom of glass, or roll out and cut with cookie cutters. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly brown on the edges. Frost with icing and decorate.
